purchases of lot of sweets, new clothes, new ledgers for business etc. I remember we used to get new clothes as a kid on two occasions -when we change our academic sessions in school ( we would outgrow our existing clothes) or on Diwali.
You can be from any religion but you cant ignore the juvenile fun of burning crackers.
Two new things i did this diwali:
- Worked for NGO for funding poor kids by selling crackers
- Did fast for 9 days for Navratri
Diwali brings in a lot of happiness and calmness of the morning after night long crackers is so amusing.
I would like to wish every one Happy Diwali and New year!
