Dear Mary
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 before. Diwali is a religious festival in our country. It is celebrated more for religious purpose than for amusement and excitement. This festival is celebrated with lamps, candles and fireworks. No one moves about in ordinary clothes. Everyone wears special clothes. Some firecrackers explode with a pop, while others make the sound of a miniature explosion. At times it is thrown over a radius of five to ten yards. Neon lights of every colour and shape are to be seen in houses, 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 Lakshmi puja is performed on a grand scale. Especially the business community carries out this puja with pomp and show. Friends and relatives are invited to lunch or dinner and the exchange of gifts is done. Please convey my regards to your parents.
