Some of you may not know but this weekend is Diwali [ Festival of Lights ] in India. Diwali in short symbolizing "lighting up" of the darkness in the lives of people. The show of unity no matter what creed, religion, or race. It is the hope of humanity to celebrate diversity and hope for peace. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! :m:

Ya. This is the time I wish I was in India. So many happy childhood memories of these days. That and the kites. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Basant fucking ruled...no holiday can compare.....It is also a profitable hoiday for doctors because of those dumb kids breaking their arms and legs trying to catch the oh-so-elusive kites.
Oo lets all light some candles up and thereby save the world. No further action required. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Umm..Jerrek you might actually want to read up on what we are talking about here. It's a Hindu religious holiday, not a cheap humanatrian ploy to rally for peace.
Today is October 25th, or at least that is what my faithful Sancho, the 'puter, tells me. Woohoo! Today is the feastday of Saint Minias! Yeah! Go Saint Minias!

Diwali was awesome over here. We burst crackers and everything, lit diyas etc. The cracker bursting was amazing. We wrapped a 5000 wala around a football and burst it. From this year anything above 10000 wala has been banned, so no one can burst any of the 1 lakh walas, which are truly.. AWESOME! The bijlis, bombs and rockets were amazing as well. We kept lighting rockets and chucking it at a petrol station. Diwali was amazing fun this year!

Take your narrow-mindedness else where, it's not appreciated here. Happy Diwali, and also Ramadan Mubarak to all the Muslims. Peace. :m:
Those little bastards are dubbed as 'atom bombs'. my childhood experiments with those crackers were mischievious. blowing up coconutshells were our favourite. a bigger ones can almost match a granade explosion in loudness. hmmm those days... Happy Diwali and Ramadan Mubarak (Ramadan starts tomorrow isn't it?).
i think by bijilis he means a type of small cracker ; 'wala' is as in "milk wala" (milk man). they used to call like 1000 wala - 1000 small crackers linked serially to a common fuse when lit they burst continuously.
