I won't be getting much reading done between tomorrow and Sunday because we're celebrating the Indian Festival of Light or Diwali as it is called. If you want to know more about Diwali and how my family celebrates it, feel free to visit my Anthropologist blog, I will probably be posting something there later this evening.See you Sunday everyone! :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Diwali lotus,
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of candles lit everywhere. There is something very spiritual about candles burning. It relaxes me, helps me think better, gives me peace. I like your festival very much. Have a fun and wonderful time.
