Diwali

Please pardon me if I happen to be the only person who finds this entire "may this Diwali bring you happiness, prosperity and whatever' a bit vacuous.

Most of the celebrations in India have religious undertones and since God makes no sense to me anymore, the celebrations don't make sense either. I mean, for example, they worship Goddess Lakshmi, the one supposed to be associated with wealth. I have not even heard a mythological story related to Goddess Lakhmi like those for Lord Rama and Krishna who happen to take the credit for Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Anyways, like all other days, I will do something I like and find an excuse to hug people and meet them. yea, that perhaps makes sense.
