United we celebrate as a community

Our festivals are meant to socialize us, because that is the most effective way to unite together at a place as a community, share expressions with each other and celebrate together. So on the occasion of Diwali, we all go to the common area in front of the society and burst fire crackers, as it acts like a bit of protection for the vehicles parked inside. I already wrote about Diwali in my last post, showing you some of the vibrant rangolis done by our residents, so this post is going to be a photographic collection of some colorful moments. While taking these photographs, me and my son were taking multiple shorts, to expect one good at least. There were no lights, so one of us lit sparklers or flower pot, and other taking the photos, but interestingly, those crackers burnt so fast that, it was difficult to get the best shots. And the smoke these crackers were producing was another hurdle to deal with. Still, we managed to capture some of the best moments, and like every other festival, our ladies added glamor to the evening with their colorful attire. You can see some of the photos in different shades as the lights faded while these sparklers or flower pots were burning fast.

You can't do it alone....

Ready to run as soon as it catches fire....

For a moment I thought, let's try the inbuilt flash of the camera. It was not bad, but I guess an external flash would do much better.

You always need to have an watch on the kids...safety first.

Life is like a cracker.....we realize late before it burns out fast.

Careful....I had eyes on her, even though she did not know.

Collaborative effort...
