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:.

Diwali Greetings

A Happy Diwali, the best of health,
A happy heart, enough of wealth,
All this and more are wished for you,
For a Happy Diwali and a Prosperous New year too !

English composition by me ;) Graphic also by me, Marathi lines are by Dr. Shrikrishna Raut

    घरापासून लांब तुझी ही पहिलीच् दिवाळी आहे ना? मी समजू शकते! पण तिथे बरेच् भारतिय आहेत असं तू म्हणाला होतास. मला खात्री आहे की आमच्या पेक्षा तुच् दिवाळीचा जास्त आनंद घेशील. बर्याच् दिवसांनी इथे आलीये. अभिनंदन, व शुभ दिपावली :)
