Festival of lights
Today is Diwali:
The festival celebrates the victory of good over evil, light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance.
It is celebrated by Sikhs and Jains as well as Hindus. The Times of India is quoted as suggesting that
what the festival of lights really stands for today is a reaffirmation of hope, a renewed commitment to friendship and goodwill, and a religiously sanctioned celebration of the simple - and some not so simple - joys of life.
