Diwali, the festival of lights
Yay! It’s Diwali
Being in Toronto, the ‘yay’ part is missing. I’m carrying some sweets to work today and educate my colleagues there. There is also going to be a little celebration at school. And on the weekend I’m going to some place to watch fireworks - the real thing
इवल्याशा पणतीने
दूर पळतो अंधार;
लढणार्या माणसाला
देते शुभेच्छा आधार.
.:दिवाळीच्या हार्दिक शुभेच्छा:.
