Diwali Dhamaka coming shortly

Hi friends shortly I am starting the diwali dhamka where I will be telling story behind festival how it is celebrated in India by all communities without any biases of  caste religion race gender or creed. I will be giving some easy recipes for diwali festival and revealing culture behind the festival.

Diwali is festival of lights and women make rangoli designs infront of their houses considered welcome sign for good fortune and children burst fire crackers and gorge on delecious faraal or meethaiya which are famous in Diwali. The whole atmosphere during festival is of joy and brotherhood it symbolises truth triumphs over evil. The opportunity to meet and greet friends relatives and exchange gifts an presents and celebrate festival with family. It also time of tidying cleaning of homes and decorating it with diyas or oil lamps colorful scented candles and flowers and houses are painted with fresh coat of paint and time for shopping for gold ornaments new clothes or household iteams and sweetmeats for family. Some people buy fruits dryfruits chocolates and mithai for friends and loved ones. Its basically family time and time for celebration for family. Wow I have memories of diwali. The only drawback is noise and air pollution due to bursting crackers. I urge children not to play with crackers since dangerous and these crackers are also harmful  and hazardous for health but the main reason is that the cracker industry employs child labourers who work in hazardous conditions and children one should protest against those who violate child rights.
