diwali

tonight p and i joined some of my favorite folks (deepa, my yoga client, and her sweet family) for the diwali celebration at the indian restaurant near our house - DELICIOUSNESS! 

Deepavali, or Diwali, is a major Indian holiday, and a significant festival in Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Many legends are associated with Diwali. Today it is celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs across the globe as the "Festival of Lights," where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being.

i certainly hope that the good in me is victorious over the evil.
but i know the eyes won out over the stomach.

here's what i looked like headed out to the restaurant:
