I am back to the home for Diwali... :)

Hi dear! Many thanks for your wishes and telling us that it is the most important of festivals for Indians. The seame is celebrated in many other countries. We also wish you a very happy and prosperous Diwali and may this festival of light bring more happiness in your life.

Happy Diwali to you and all at home. We have a nice three day holiday on the occasion of Diwali and I will be spending the weekend at home with my kids. Diwali and Chirstmas are my favourite festivals.

You are here bringing a light to the Lot for this weekend! So good to see you back home and thank yuo for your wishes. I guess youhave a lot to tell us about what has happened while you were away. I don't have a favourite festival or holiday now. Everything seems to have become too commercialised and has lost the real meanings as I remember them years ago. As long as everyone is happy then I make evry day a festival even though it may not be onthe calendar as such

hi dbu. welcome back. and happy diwali to you. i am not into festivals but i know the most popular festival here in cebu is "sinulog". it is a festival of street dancing, in honor of the roman catholic's patron saint santo niño.

I like the flower festival here in my place only when flowers are in bloom around February. People flock here during this festival to witness the colorful parades performed by students and floats of different kinds of flowers.

Hey, first of all wish you a happy diwali. This is the best and most unforgettable festival in India. I enjoy this festival very much. I am from India and i am 23 years old working. I go everywhere in India but with good luck i never missed my diwali celebrated other than home.Some how i am getting to home for diwali. So, enjoy this diwali very much. In US also they are celebrating diwali because today i saw in news paper that in White house Obama celebrated this festival.

Hi dbu, Happy Diwali to you too! My favorite festival happens to be Diwali itself... We prepare for it for almost three days, making this and that and that's really fun This time I'm not with my family, had to stay in college to clear up some tasks. So guess have to rely upon myLot and friends like you Keep posting

Hey bro, great to see you around once more. So when will you leave?

I am glad you have come home and are able to use the computer to mylot. I have responded and commented to you a lot since you've left, so you'll have a lot to catch up on!

I too like diwali. I like all indian festival. but there is one festival in which i can dance that is Navaratri. Navatri is celebrated in Gujarat state of india. In which people play dance called "Garba" around goddess.so i like to play "Garba". This is very popular festival of Gujarat. In diwali too there is lots of fun with family.It is very good that you are back from your hostel to enjoy with family.So Wish all of you happy and prosporous diwali.

By now, you are probably enjoying the festival...sounds like alot of fun. Here in my town, we have, what we call, the Johnny Appleseed Festival. Johnny Appleseed is supposed to have planted the first Apple Tree in our Country, in our home town. So we have a big festival in the center of our town..lots of food, amusements, music,a parade...and then at the end we have beautiful fireworks. It is fun to go to every year, when there are tons of people to see.

Hi dbu the king Waw, that's so nice, having diwali holiday! I have read wikipedia link about that. Hmm..the diwali lamps sure it's beautiful! So, do you come to your relatives houses during diwali? I live in the capital city of my country, there isn't any booming or well known local festival that make into holiday.

That sounds like alot of fun. I used to really like to go to the Harvest Homecoming Halloween Festival. We moved away from there though and I have not been back there in years.

Hope u enjoy your festival tomorrow, and Happy Diwali to u!!

Dear dbutheking, Welcome home my 'King', how have you been? How's everything, I am so curious.. Have you got new outfits for this wonderful festival? In Malaysia, the school is close today till Tuesday for Diwali. Wednesday school will reopen. We called this Festival of Lights, Deepavali and Diwali. I enjoyed eating Puri My favourite festival will be Christmas. I like to see Christmas carols, decorate Christmas tree and wrap presents. See the smile on the faces when they open their gifts. Enjoy festival food.. Happy Diwali to you and your family. Do keep in touch!

Well I hope you have a blessed holiday season. When in a class about the anthropology of Holidays Diwali was one of my favorite to learn about as I had never even heard about it before then. I then asked a friend I had grown up with and celebrated with his family one year. His Grandmother is the best cook ever by the way. I am Irish and for us Halloween is more then just a day to beg for candy. There are many traditions that help bring friends and family together. You can go to http://www.history.com/content/halloween/real-story-of-halloween if you do not know the history of the day. Many of the traditions have been warped in America unfortunately.

Hello, Happy Diwali to all the Indians in the world. I have already forgotten how the Diwali festival was like. I just remembered all the lights and candles that were lit. I think one of my favorites would be the Holi Hai. I was a bit hesitant first to join in the color splashing but since we will not be admitted to the party without painted faces and arms, I eventually gave in. It was quite fun but I made sure that I put on my oldest clothes. This was in 1992, my first and only Holi Hai in Delhi.
