Diwali Celebrations
Diwali is an official holiday here in India. In short Diwali is the Festival of Lights. You can read the whole description of Diwali here.
We shot off a bunch of fireworks in celebration. The fireworks here in Kochi are a lot more scary than the fireworks in Utah. One of them actually shot a bunch of times into the air and a piece of it came down and burned the top of my head. It hurt, but I survived. The sound of some fireworks is like bomb going off. All in all, the celebration was a blast (haha).
Here is a short video that Liji filmed. Around 1:27 you can hear me say “It landed on my head.” That is when it burned me.

Where in Cochin do you live ? Ask Liji to call the Renaissance Resort in Kumarakom and strike a deal with them . You’ll love the place ! Spend a weekend.
