Wow, I'm surprised I've never heard of such an important holiday.  I worked for 3 years with a guy from India and his family did celebrate Christmas, but they did it more as a kind of Thanksgiving type thing.  I think we need to make it a national holiday with time off.  :-)

Wow indeed, I've never heard of it either!

Ha, I had an Indian coworker awhile back when I was working shift work, great guy!  It was always fascinating watching what unfolded when our shift relieved or was relieved by the shift that had a guy from Pakistan!  Within minutes, they'd be screaming at each other, ready to come to blows, just from being in the same room.  It was great  :popcorn:

Diwali? 

I don't think this a Hallmark holiday.

Therefore.....  :gives:

The guy never misses an opportunity to lecture people.  Such a tiresome man.

"here in America?"  WTF is he talking about?  I think he's come seriously unhinged.  This whole trip so bizarre and maddening, I don't even know what to think.
