Words 101
Diwali was here.
Time for some clean up.
And new beginnings.
After days of dithering over the messy clutter, she took the plunge.
Choking, she tripped over the lamps – but alas, no genie appeared.

The doorbell rang.

Happy Diwali to everyone. So happy to be back after ages. Hope all of you have been well. Looking forward to be able to reconnect with you all 🙂
