Diwali

Amit writes that The best thing about blogging is the friendships it creates. Amen.

A Hindi poet once lamented that even after numerous Diwalis, a dark and evil shroud remains sprawled all around us. We saw this in Delhi Saturday. How else are we to survive this mire if not through expression and friendship?

So, on this blood-dimmed Diwali, here's to blogging and to friends, as well as to our absent innocents who'll never light the lamps again.

Greetings for the festive season and best wishes indeed. This is a time of hope symbolized by the earthen lamps flickering on the darkest night of the year. As we say in Sri Lanka, "Deepavali vazhtukkal urittakuha"!

Happy Diwali everybody. May the light of freedom burn ever brighter. We remember the innocents who aren't with us. We celebrate their lives. And we will not forget.
