Today is Diwali--or Deepavali as it's known down South, in South India, and though Malayalees don't really celebrate Diwali, I can hear the sound of crackers from all sides! Now the non-Mallu population in Kottayam is quite large. There are many Tamilians as well as Oriyas& Biharis, and maybe Andhrites. I guess that's how come there are so many fireworks going off. I remember when I first came to stay in Kerala how I used to miss Diwali! Anyway tomorrow we're celebrating in the other school too.
Happy Diwali everyone. May your life be full of light and goodness.
Happy Diwali!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fun weekend :)
with the weather just fine and the masses in a mood to celebrate,Diwali is perhaps one festival where all communities find their own reason to celebrate. in Kerala Onam brings everyone together so the purpose is already served.Season's greetings!
