Diwali, the "festival of lights", is one of the biggest Hindu festivals on the calendar. Across India, people celebrate by shooting off fireworks, cleaning and decorating their homes with lights, painting colorful designs on the floor, and setting out little lamps to welcome Lakshmi the goddess of wealth inside. We were in Delhi for a short visit during the height of Diwali celebrations, and had a blast introducing A.'s cousin to India as he happened to be passing through for a couple of days! But we made it home in time to set off a few fireworks with the neighborhood kids and eat sweets with a few of our neighbors.

I don't think A. and his cousin could deny that they're family--no one would believe them! : )
