Deepavali - 6 Days to Go!

The last weekend before Deepavali is very crucial to KL folks. Many would be too occupied with work to spare any time on weekdays so for great bargains and a good day out with family, these 2 days will be well utilized.

We decided to drop by Brickfields ... not to get anything in particular but to see the changes the place went through. The new revamped 'Little India' was certainly a sigh to behold.

The Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh along with our PM declared the place open last Wednesday with much fanfare. We tried our luck instead returned home with a ticket for illegal parking. Now these daredevils parked along the yellow line would probably be going home with one too.

It's just as illegal for drivers to park along yellow line as it is to buy fireworks. I'm guilty as charged but the only thing that amiss the celebration will certainly be the crackers. I swear it was only the sparklers and nothing more.

The Deepavali Carnival was held not too far from the Little India. The place was packed to the brim.

Part of the RM35 million spent was on this magnificent fountain at the junction of Travers Road and Brickfields. I wasn't allowed for a close up so this is the best shot I could get.
