A Festival Of Light
Yesterday was the Indian festival of Diwali,
when Hindus celebrate the eventual triumph of light over forces of darkness.

Happy Diwali to you too! We ate in a restaurant last evening where the chefs are all Indian, the food was wonderful and 80% of the clientèle were Indian too, a magical evening.

Congratulations. You celebrated Diwali in style!
Wandering through the Hindu quarter of Fort Cochin last night, where so many of the houses were lit with clusters of Diwali oil-lamps, while entire families were standing outside with spluttering sparklers and small fireworks, was really magical too…
