Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Happy Diwali, everyone. I kind of wish we could do something for it properly, and I wanted fireworks but there aren't any. I like Diwali, though. I like the tealights and the flowers. It's silly, but there is no other festival as pretty as Diwali; we tend to put a diya in every room, two in each bathroom and one on either side of the front door. I am still at a loss to explain the tradition of the bathroom; why exactly it needs extra attention is something entirely beyond me.

I am now feeling less like a walking puddle of angst. But I sense cultural displacement coming on, with all the fun that entails, so yay for that. On that note, I think I may be in India at Christmas, like I was two years ago.

Maybe religious festivals aren't such a good idea.

I thought Divali was tomorrow. Or maybe we celebrate on different dates.

Meep ;-)

Diwali! We used to learn about it in school cause my school was populated with a lot of people who celebrated it. Was cool! One year we got to dress up and do a proper dance and assembly for diwali for our parents! :)

Happy Diwali! I would've sent you a card or something (never mind that our bookstore doesn't seem to sell Diwali cards...), but it wouldn't have gotten there in time. The card I send you in December can sort of be an ecumenical one, then.

Depending on the type of Indian community you're from, the main celebration is on different days. The actual length of the Diwali festival is 5 days.

Happy Diwali!
