Take out that black gown and cape, mascara, kohl, and red lipper(Broom optional).
It's Halloween!
This Celtic observation has, in recent years, caught on in our country too.
Halloween parties are all the rage, what with children (and their parents) spending lavishly on costumes that make you jump out of your skin.
Leading shops in Khan Market and Gurgaon offer costumes on rent too(so you needn't spend a small fortune to go dressed as that particularly spooky vampire, zombie, ghoul, goblin, or witch).
The foodies needn't be disappointed - there are loads of candies, pumpkin pies, treacle tarts, and bonfire toffees to choose from - all available easily at your regular confectionery shop(But with today being the second day of the three-day Delhi bandh, I'm not all that sure. Why didn't you stock up before, silly?)
And hey, that big turnip and pumpkin has nother use too - go carve it into a scary face, and light a candle inside(you might want to take help from a sibling / friend here - twice the fun, half the effort).
Happy scaring.
