Happy Deepavali 2011

In a few days time, our Hindu friends will celebrate Deepavali (also called Devali or Diwali). Popularly known as "The Festival of Lights", this is a very important festival in Hinduism.

The word "Diwali" translates into a "row of lamps". The festival involves the lighting of small clay lamps filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil.

To my friends who celebrate the occasion, have a Happy Deepavali, and to all others have a good holiday.
