The fact that there is no power is evident in this photo which was taken without flash when Nish and Rish were eating Puri in candle light 7:30 pm Oct 30 2012. Halloween pumpkin looks pretty scary



























With Halloween apparently cancelled this year due to the storm Sandy from which people of NJ, NY will be reeling for the next few weeks, this Halloween pumpkin that i carved couple of nights ago smiles in the corner.

ButterFl, Minnie Mouse and Pumpkin rekindle the dampened spirit of Halloween this year even as Halloween was literally cancelled this year by the NJ Governor due to a calamity called Sandy that befell the tri-state area . Nov 6 2012 1 PM as i was working from home this Tuesday as commute to the city post Sandy week was still messy and crowded, dressed up Nish and Rish in the afternoon with their Blore grandparents' help in their costumes we bought which never got used so far as there was no trick or treat this year. Had to take these pictures fast as it was freezing cold outside and kids were no way clothed in winter dress.
