!!!! HAPPY DIWALI !!!!

You'll have to excuse my igorance. I never heard of this before. Perhaps you can tell us all a little about this.

HAPPY DIWALI to you too vinsan.

Diwali Festival to Hindus (Indians) is What Christmas is to Christians

More About Diwali

It is also the next festival after Christmas that has largest business \ sales turnover across the world. Gold sales are observed to be highest around the world during this festival.

Thanks for the reminder, vinsan.

I live about a five minute drive from one of Toronto's East Indian neighbourhoods - I'll have to head down to the bakeries to pick up some seasonal treats. Diwali is one of the best festivals around - the streets will be festooned with lights.

Ah yes I have heard of the Fesival of light although not its history/beginnings.

I know very little of indian culture except of course that they are buggers to beat on a spinning wicket.

Thank you vinsan for enlightening me.

Thanks to vinsan's reminder, I'm going to look at this for tomorrow night with some out of town friends
