Diwali - Festival of lights




It's that time of the year again fireworks, mouth watering sweets and a wonderful evening with your entire family. Its DIWALI - Festival of Lights and I wish everyone a wonderful, colorful and safe diwali.

As a kid I could hardly wait for Diwali, I used to go shopping with my dad to buy crackers, and I remember arguing with him about 'Whether I was too young for something I wanted real bad'. Mom used to make my favorite 'moti chur ka laddoo', we used to perform Lakshmi pooja and other rituals, wear new clothes, eat my favorite sweets and then hit the road for fireworks. We always had our parents watching our backs, and I must say diwali's has been so much fun I really miss being there with my family.

Anyways enough nostalgia for now, and for people not familiar with diwali there is plenty of information online. It never hurts to know what's behind the most loved festival of India.

I again wish you and your family a happy and safe diwali. Posted by Picasa
