I should have had these decorating my front gate... next year!

Dave at the sweet shop

We had sweets in our fridge to give to Davender, but forgot them at home and had to stop on our way.

Baldev and a fan

...he would have been my friend too had I given him a can of Pepsi!

Pyush--Davender's son

He quickly got over his camera shyness by asking me to take pictures of everything as evidenced here.

Adorable!

Preparing the Arsenal

You can't see the bag they are holding, but it is filled with big fireworks.

After this episode, and flying shrapnel, we threw the rest over the balcony after lighting them. See photo of "damage" below.
