Happy Diwali All

Om Malik, Monday, October 31, 2005 at 4:34 PM PT Comments (26)

All my friends, we are celebrating the Indian festival of lights, aka Diwali. The official day of Diwali this year is November 1, which means my family has already started celebrating.

It is the day I miss my family the most, and hope that some day I will spend some time with them. I wish all of you, my cyber-family, a very Happy Diwali. I am going to buy me a Video iPod as a Diwali gift.

And let me not forget to wish you all a very scary Halloween.

Run up to Diwali -
* Terrorists strike Delhi, Manmohan sends a strong msg to Musharaff
* BSE 10% drop in a week, 200+points gain in a day
* Cracker on the streets much lesser than couple of years back, Dhoni sets fireworks with a big 100.

Happy Diwali :-)

Good idea.. I need to buy myself some Diwali gifts too - or maybe I could guilt my folks into getting me some. do you have to be Hindu to do that?

Happy Diwali Om.
