Note 1:
Diwali is perhaps the most popular of all Hindu festivals, also known as the Festival of Lights, it is dedicated to the Goddess Kali in Bengal and to Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth, in the rest of India. As with several other festivals, Diwali is associated with one of the stories about the destruction of evil by Vishnu in one of his many manifestations.
Note 2:
What may be the reason, what may be the rituals, Diwali today is a huge occasion that is celebrated all over INDIA, unifying all caste, status and religions of people in a festive mood, rejoicing the endless aura of light and vibrant colors.
Being a part of DIWALI and enjoying every aspect of its lucid simplicity and rich vigor makes one feel more enthusiastic and charged up to work harder and look ahead for next year’s excitement.
Till then stay prosperous and healthy!!!

Durga Puja, is the main and biggest puja of Bengalis, so as mine. We (I) just eagerly wait for these four days of Saptami, Asthami, Navami and Bijaya Dashami. But it seems these 4 days are made of less then 24 hours and speed away very swiftly.
It’s not like that we (I) 30 above kids just thinking of our busy schedule - of home to Pandal, Pandal to home and cracking tin pistols aiming no where, or the young chaps missing the ‘green’ look of our own earthly (rather ‘para’s) God and Goddess. It is just the relief of remembering that, tomorrow too we don’t have to or wouldn’t go to our works and our mobile will not ring for another emergency meeting and no deadline to make ourself dead again and no limitation for junk foods.
But for us (me) the real Puja Holidays starts from Maha Sasthi rather than Maha Saptami and come to an ends at Maha Navami rather than Bijoya Dasami. WHY? Because, only Maha Sasthi to Maha Navami we can enjoy our sleeping/nights thinking of the next off day. But the worst night we spent is the Bijoya Dasami night, one way we miss those 3 glorified days we spent and in other hand hate the very next horrified day to come.
But any way Ma Durga has to go, we have to go to our work; it may be a bit lousy for the first 1/2 days, but we know we will or have to overcome and get engaged ourselves to our life’s conveyer belt. Hope we will be running for another great 4 days. Still then keep healthy and of course wealthy.
Please reply back and let us know about your holidays.
It was all fun within a serious duty. ‘Fun’, because there was no hanging and swinging axe (Time, Budget, etc) upon your head and above all you could do what ever creative you wanna do, no one will come to poke their nose or any other stuff. And ‘Duty’, ‘cause at least in this way, you can do or try to do something for the society what you always wanted do.
So check them out and do some good comments, Jokes apart. Haha.

At stroke of midnight, on 15 August 1947, India became an independent nation.
This was preceded by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s famous speech titled Tryst with destiny (* See Video of Nehru’s address)
“ At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance….. We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again.”
15th August is a National holiday of India. In the capital New Delhi most of the Government Offices are lit up. Flag hoisting ceremonies and cultural programs take place in all the state capitals.
Throughout varying regions of India, there is a popular tradition of flying kites on the Independence Day.
Television Channels, Radio channels, cultural centres, clubs and societies hold entertainment programmes and competitions, usually based on the freedom theme.
