Diwali!

[raven]

Diwali! It's Diwali! I forgot until last night until my mum reminded me in her Disapproving Voice. Eee, yay! I think I'm going to put diyas (see icon) round the kitchen and I can't get proper mithai and such like, but I can get sweets and fruit and flowers. It's not until tomorrow, properly, but I've got to do Cerberus, so I can get things and force tradition on everyone I meet today.

Also. I know I cannot put naked flames in the North Lecture Room, but people should come to the geek quiz anyway so I can make everyone conform to my religious tradition* as well as answering geeky questions. This is a good plan, y/y?

* i.e., be fed sweets.

Indeed! There's a Diwali dinner on campus tonight. It made me think of you.

Religious traditions that include sweets or alcohol are my favorites!

Happy Divali!

Excited!Iona ftw. I like religiousy festivals. At least, ones that haven't vanished under piles of commercialism.

Thank you! And no commercialism here, definitely not. A happy Diwali to you too!

Oh! happy Diwali!

(also, chiasmata mentioned to Glitz that maybe you and her would come up and stay with us in Leeds some weekend. This would be ACE and yes please yes!)

(Can I break in here to second the Iona-to-Leeds plan, please? I am not in Leeds, but a certain friend of mine is, and it would be easy to arrange to visit.)

Also, happy Diwali! (I'll conform to any religious tradition which involves sweets.)

Thank you! Happy Diwali to you too!

And yes, yes, that would be really awesome! I'd love to see you guys!

Happy Diwali! (or, as I persist in calling it, Deepavali. er, yeah.)

I'm just back from lighting candles all over the parking spaces. People are already whinging about this (and have kicked a few over), but nevertheless.

Happy Diwali to you, too! I wish I could see your candles. :)
