letter writing to friend about indian festival
Answers
I was glad to read your letter a few days ago, but as I was busy with Diwali celebrations in the family, I could not write to you earlier than this.
Diwali is a religious festival in my country. It is celebrated more for religious purposes than for amusement and excitement. However, quite a few people who celebrate Diwali haven't the faintest: idea of what it is all about. They just go in for entertainment.
This festival is celebrated with lamps, candles, and fireworks. It is an occasion of great beauty, and lamps, candles and crackers are to be seen everywhere. Toy sky rockets are fired and most of the houses are decorated with blinking neon lights.
No one moves about in ordinary clothes. Everyone wears special clothes. Most of the parents are indulgent and join the children in the festivities.
Some firecrackers explode with a pop, while others make the sound of a miniature explosion. The light of the sparklers is pretty intense. At times it is thrown over a radius of five to ten yards. As almost everyone lights sparklers, there is light everywhere and the night is turned into the day.
Neon lights of every colour and shape are to be seen in houses and shops and other places. Children have a very enjoyable time. They light all sorts of fireworks, some of which, when thrown into the sky, explode into hundreds of fragments of bright light as dazzling as the stars.
The elders of the family perform Pujas. The Lakshmi puja is performed on a grand scale. Especially the business community carries out this puja with pomp and show. All the accounts for the year are settled and the new accounts are opened on the New Year. Gifts are given to Brahmins and alms to the poor. Friends and relatives are invited to lunch or dinner, and the exchange of gifts is made.
Please convey my regards to your parents. Hoping to see you soon in our midst, I am,
Yours sincerely,

Dear Sam
I was happy to read your message a few days ago, but I was unable to respond to you earlier due to family Diwali celebrations. In my nation, Diwali is a religious holiday. Instead of being celebrated for fun and pleasure, it is more often done for religious reasons. However, many people who celebrate Diwali have no understanding of what the holiday is really about. They simply go there for fun. There are fireworks, candles, and lights used to celebrate this holiday. It's a very beautiful occasion, and lamps, candles, and crackers can be seen everywhere. Toy skyrockets are launched, and blinking neon lights are used to decorate most of the homes. Nobody moves around in everyday attire. Everyone is dressed uniquely. Most parents indulge themselves and participate in the festivities with their kids. Some firecrackers pop as they explode, while others create a small explosion sound. The sparkler’s light is quite bright. Sometimes it is tossed over a five to the ten-yard area. Almost everyone starts lighting sparklers, turning the night into day as there is light everywhere. There are neon lights everywhere, in homes, businesses, and other locations, in every colour and shape. The experience is really enjoyable for kids. They ignite all different kinds of fireworks, some of which, when launched into the sky, explode into thousands of brilliant light shards that are as stunning. Pujas are performed by the family's elders. A large-scale Lakshmi puja is conducted. The business community in particular celebrates this puja with fanfare. On January 1st, fresh accounts are opened once the year's accounts have all been resolved. Brahmins are given gifts, and the needy are given alms. Gifts are exchanged and friends and family are invited to lunch or dinner. Please give your parents my respects. I'm hoping to see you soon among us.
Yours Sincerely
