Murukku/Chakli

Diwali is nearing, and my mind started revolving around chennai.My mother wud have started preparing all snacks and sweets.We all will sit around the stove and look at those snacks getting ready.But we will never try untill it is offered to god.We all will got to sleep ,with greater hope and happiness the next day we are going to have.
Early morning we will get up and have ganga snanam ,wear new dress and run to the street and fire all crackers.I will be a decent spectator and with limited crackers.My sis will be the one who fires all big bombs.I love to watch all kids roaming and firing crackers in our streets.Hmm Those are memorable days.
