19 Thoughts I Have *Every* Festive Season!

October 25, 2016 By: RealGirl1 Comment

I’m one of those people who cannot wait for November and December, every year. Do you even blame me? They are the last two months of the year and are without a doubt the most fun! They are the month version of Saturday and Sunday, basically.

(This year I’ll include October in the excitement too; for obvious reasons!)

As much as I love the festive season, though, my brain absolutely cannot stop going into overdrive at the same time. *Cough* TYPICAL *Cough* That’s just me. All over the place, all the damn time. Anyhoo, here’s what ensues inside my brain – festive edition. 🙂

 

  1. Ooooh, Diwali!

More clothes, more sweets, more partying! #WIN

festive season

 

  1. I need to buy new lights for the house.

a) Because, look how pretty!

b) Who knows where I kept last year’s lights?

 

  1. Do I really need to clean my whole house?

I’m sure Goddess Lakshmi will understand if I don’t manage to organize that one drawer, na?

 

festive season

 

  1. Why don’t we have Taash parties like they do in Delhi?

Not that I know how to play or anything…

 

  1. Even the weather is so much better there.

Suddenly, I’m in a bad mood now. *Sulks*

 

festive season

 

  1. It’s been forever since I bought and lit fireworks.

Being socially and environmentally conscious can suck balls sometimes, IMHO.

 

  1. I hope I get invited to some Fancy AF Diwali party.

Though I really shouldn’t count on it.

  1. But just think of all the selfies that can happen, just think…

I could use that Bokeh effect for the lights to look all pretty and blurry.

 

  1. Don’t fairy lights just make everything look super magical?

Will people judge me if I keep these up all year round?

 

festive season

  1. I really want to make a beautiful and intricate rangoli this year?

“Bhaiya, yeh stencil kitne ka hai?”

 

  1. Lighting diyas is such a beautiful and fun activity…

I love watching my mom do it. 😛

festive season

 

  1. Speaking of mom, how does she remember this whole Lakshmi Pooja?

I’m going to have to just wing it and hum in the background.

 

  1. Have you noticed – people just seem so nice this time of the year.

Maybe Diwali bonuses have a little something to do with it!

festive season

 

  1. Someone remind me why I don’t eat Kaju Katli all year round?

*Looks at weighing scale* Don’t worry, got the answer.

 

  1. What am I going to do after Diwali?

*Feels sad for a nanosecond and then remembers Christmas and New Year. *

festive season

 

  1. Speaking of, can you believe 2016 is ending?

I-can’t-even. Like, where did it go? It was last year just, like, 5 minutes ago. What is this sorcery?!

 

  1. There are so many things I need to do before the year ends!

Philosophical, thinking mode: ON

 festive season

  1. I would love to sit and take stock of my life…

But then there are so many parties to attend. #FirstWorldProblems

 

  1. Wait, am I too old to be *this* excited for these festivals?

*Dhatt pagli* [reprimands self in most desi way possible – then goes to buy juttis to complete Diwali outfit]

festive season

 

Here’s wishing you all a very Happy Diwali! Go have fun, my firecrackers! 🙂

Hope you enjoyed this Diwali special post. Share it with someone who might like it too! You know, spread that festive love – and all and all!

AN UNFILTERED LIFESTYLE BLOG FOR THE REAL GIRLS BY A REAL GIRL

Hi, I’m Smriti Notani and I have an incessant need to keep it real. I live my life like someone has attached a giant #NOFILTER sign above my head.
When I figured there was legit nothing out there catering to strong, funny, wise, bold, sassy, sensible, REAL girls, I decided to start this blog. The content you’ll find here will be veering towards adulting, feminism, food, and truthfully terrible puns – the kind that make you laugh despite yourself. Apart from being on a mission to build a tribe of real girls, one (hopefully) witty post at a time, I’m a lifestyle writer with various websites who literally lives on the Internet. Hopefully you’ll find yourself at home here at Real Girl and you’ll keep coming back for more. *Insert creepy, shy smile that lingers for way too long*
