Another Diwali

There goes another Diwali. It was pretty nice. Lighted the whole house with over 100 diyas. A humble but pretty nice way to live the Diwali spirit.
Yet i can remember my days at Chennai during the Diwali. Diwali is one of the main festivals for Tamil Nadu. The most amusing part is that, when i was in Chennai for 5 yrs. At the junction near my house, there were 2 shops. One was fruit shop & other was a Book Shop. These two shop, during the normal days they had a very sluggish business. But during the Diwali times, both these shops b'cos full-fledged fireworks shop. Selling all kinds & shapes of fireworks. And once i remember the fruit shop guy telling my uncle that money he gets during Diwali is enough to keep him going for the year. And other days he runs the shop to just keep the place.

Happy Diwali
