Though it's not officially a festival per se, it still causes quite a raucous in these parts. For days now there have been fireworks popping off every night. Fun to watch, not so fun when you want to go to sleep and it sounds like a war outside your bedroom window. Diwali typically covers 5 days. From what I understand you exchange sweets with your friends, people perform a ritual similar to spring cleaning in their houses, some may even buy new pots and pans....oooooh.....ahhhhh. But at the end of the day it is really all about the lights. It is lit up like Christmas around here. People light their diyas, or oil lamps, they light sparklers and fireworks. And there you have it. Happy Diwali everyone!
