Sparkles and Crackers, Sweets and Savouries - Happy Diwali!

The secret to dispelling any darkness in life lies in lighting a lamp and spreading a smile!

'Diwali' or 'Deepawali' is here again - the occasion that epitomises this universal truth, the festival of glory, goodwill and cheer, a time of celebrations galore!

Greetings!






Auspicious beginnings, a new start,
Time to take stock, time to raise the bar;
To sparkle like the fireworks - the fuljhadi and anaar,
To rise high like them and reach for the stars!

It's a time to share and to give,
Sweets and savouries, donations and gifts;
To spread smiles and brighten lives,
To create moments to cherish and relive!


This glittering festival of lights heralds prosperity,
Upholds the power of 'good' - to lend a tinge of spirituality;
So bring out the mithai and ring in the festivities,
Its time to wish everyone a Happy, Sparkling and Safe Deepawali!


Till next time, from slo it's tally-ho!
