Diwali And a Haircut

Last night, on seeing me in the living room using the "bright" light to study, my Indian host mom informed me, "We are not celebrating Diwali. Use the dim light."

And an hour ago:

I crash on the couch. "I'm going to take a nap."

Auntie - "and how was your day?"

"Long. I'm exhausted. Too much school."

"Well yes, but at least you have nice new haircut, no?"

"Yeah."

"It makes you feel good, no?"

"Yes."

"Ok. I'm going to temple. Goodnight."
