--- 1 --- Its been two weeks and I could not post. Some jobs to be completed and deadlines to be met. Well, its the starting of Diwali week. Looking forward to a joyful time with family. --- 2 --- Festival of lights! Diwali, Deepavali is here again. The festival of brightness, colourful fireworks, zest and fervour! Loads of fun and sweets. Though I am not a big fan of fireworks, I like to light up my home and surroundings. The climate also turns pleasant. Chirpy atmosphere everywhere. People buying new things for their homes, new clothes, lit up faces..... eye candy! Today is the first day of the festival. Dhanteras or Dhana Trayodashi or Dhanvatari Trayodashi, as we call. This day is auspiciously marked for purchase of gold, silver, or an asset etc. This significance is mostly visible in northern parts of India. This day is followed by Naraka Chaturdasi or Choti Diwali. It is the day when Satyabhama, one of the worthy consorts of Lord Krishna slayed the demo
