Diwali Plans

People at work have already started planning for Diwali. Incidentally the day of Diwali is working for me. That is because here, the puja is a day before. So I have a day off for Naraka Chaturdashi (the day when Krishna is supposed to have killed Narakasura) and I work on the actual Diwali day.

I remember in Singapore, we used to be have a day and half off, for Diwali.

Joys of being in India - huh!!

  5. Kalipuja/Diwali is what I know is celebration of Rama returning to Ayoddhya after 14 years of Banabaas.
