Happy Diwali

Happy Diwali to everyone. Diwali (also Deepavali) is a festival of lights and a major Indian festival. There is colourful lighting everywhere and people burst crackers. It marks the return of Lord Rama after 14 years of exile.

I also had a good time. We went to my grandparents' place and enjoyed the festivities. I am scared of crackers but thoroughly enjoyed the lights and sweets.

I stayed on till Bhaiya Dooj, an important festival that signifies bond between brothers and sisters. All our relatives came but unfortunately papa could not get a leave and so he had to go.
