Someone just mentioned that Deepavali is 2 weeks away. I am ashamed that being a Singaporean, I have no Indian friend close enough to invite me to celebrate with them. We use to have an Indian kid as part of our gang in teenage years. We always look forward to his invitation at Deepavali because his mother cooks a really good Indian meal. Even up to today, we reminisce about it when we have old boys gathering. But this Indian friend did not get the message, he has since married a Chinese girl…. with all our help in the early days. He is now a Towkay and behaves more Chinese then me.
