Diwali

I don't have much to say, except that I can't get much sleep these days. These Indians are just crazy! I gotta give it to them though, they sure know how to celebrate. In the West we celebrate religious holidays by fasting, praying, giving gifts, and singing songs we don't understand. Now here in India its a totally different story. Right now is Diwali, which is the Hindu festival of lights, and for the past 3 days it's been non stop fireworks and firecrackers going off everywhere. So much noise. Everyone is dressed colorful and seems very happy. I saw a rickshaw today that was decorated with colorful flowers and designs. According to Wikipedia it's not only Hindus that celebrate Diwali but Sikhs and Jains. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diwali
