Today is Diwali. It's evening now. The whole town is decorated with colorful lights and burning earthen lamps. I can hear the sounds of crackers coming from all directions. We didn't burn any crackers. Just a few earthen lamps are burning a little away from my house. After observing some rituals I'll leave for my friend's house. They are sad and weeping. They need company and I'll give them that.
