the last night of Diwali (it lasts a few) at Tagore International House
on the surface i guess Diwali is a mix of christmas (strings of electric lights blinking everywhere, lots of sweets) and 4th of july (fireworks)
we lit candles all around and inside my dance teacher's house
Aruna, my dance teacher--- dramatic to the core and looking pretty evil
her daughter Mahathi setting off a rocket
Mahathi and I decorated the huge Siva in the dance/theatre classroom in their house (siva is the god of dance and drama)
tons of lovely chemical fumes and smoke
Aruna says she used to make these sparklers with her mom, mixing the chemicals themselves, wrapping them in paper, leaving them to dry-- it would take about a week to finish
some of her IIIT students, and her drama students
such a badass. (THE hydera-badass)
