keyan_bowesIt's always been difficult for me to celebrate Diwali in the US. The festival comes mid-week, it competes with Halloween and/ or Thanksgiving, and so few others are celebrating. There's no buzz. In India, it's different. Think of Christmas crossed with the 4th of July, with added rice-flour artworks.
This year, between facebook, Obama's Diwali celebration and greetings, and Live Journal (Thanks, Shweta!) the buzz is definitely in the air. I went out to an Indian restaurant for dinner, where there manager greeted us with "Happy Diwali."
And I followed Shweta's advice and lit some candles.
