I was pleasently surprised by the courage neha & nidhi showed this deepavali to burst crackers (with help from me or kumara or vatsa). I remember last year they were petrified by the sounds of crackers and didn't enjoy even the harmless "sussur batthis". The fact that we were living in hanumanthanagar and those narrow roads (& hence more echo) probably was a reason.
this year i bought mostly the fancy crackers & none of the noise making ones. Neha was again the more adventurous one and started bursting crackers first. nidhi was again all hyper, running as close to the cracker once and running as far away the next second. peer pressure took her over a little later as she saw shreya, saurav, megha & more importantly neha bursting crackers. she joined the gang too. only shravya was left watching from a distance. maybe only this year. she should be up there with others next year.
they were still scared of the "sussur bhatthis". the stars that emanate burn their skins :-)
