Wish you a very happy Deepawali!

आप सब को दीपावली की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ!

जय श्री लक्ष्मी माता!

If you choose to celebrate in full abandon, happy Diwali to you!

If you choose to have a muted celebration, happy Diwali to you too!

And if you choose not to celebrate this year, well, happy Diwali to you too!

A celebration comes from within – something that makes you happy, and others around you happy too. If you have to go through the motions just to get it over with…that isn’t a celebration of any kind.

Deepavali is an occasion when even those who don’t celebrate get drawn into the festive atmosphere. The lights, the puja, the sweets, the gifts – sometimes it feels that we do not just want it to end.

I sure will enjoy this Diwali, and I hope you have a wonderful Diwali too!
