Diwali!

Sorry I haven't posted in some time, but I'm having some Internet access issues. When my access gets better i promise to put up more pictures. So back to Diwali, the festival of lights winds down the festival season in India. I'm not sure the exact meaning of Diwali, but I'm sure you can look it up! My dad told me it celebrates the triumph of good over evil, which implies he doesn't know what it means either. However celebrating the triumph of good over evil is a great reason for a Holiday to me! Although celebrating in India can have different meanings-like getting up at 5:30am on the morning of Diwali to do Puja in your best attire! Despite the bad morning breath, Diwali is a very beautiful holiday. Everyone decorates the outside of their home with oil candles (deepas) and does Rangoli in front of the house. Plus all the stores have sales and that as we know is the best part of any holiday!
