What's Diwali without fireworks? Sure enough, Sudeep and Sobha had arranged for some to be fired from their terrace. Something we from Singapore can only imagine doing, since we were only allowed the ones on a grand scale that are organised by the authorities for special occasions. Fireworks at Diwali here would typically start from dusk and will not stop until well after 11pm.

What I know of Diwali parties was the fact that they would mostly be about cards. This was an exception. Our hosts decided that theirs would be about dance and food and drinks. Their terrace was perfect for it. I wondered if Sudeep refurbished his house purely with that in mind.

It was amazing how everyone kept cajoling Ben onto the dance floor. I actually remarked to Ben, "Watching you dance is like watching a car wreck. You don't want to look but you just can't help yourself."

Apparently the cops had visited several times. We would bring the volume down, they would eat some food and leave and we started all over again. As such, we were able to actually party until two-thirty in the morning.
