Pandemonium everywhere, one could almost smell Di wali in the air between 2 pm and 9 pm at the Square. Clay oil lamps burned all night long bringing out the beauty and diversity of India in all its glory. Neeta Bhasin, the organiser of these festivities said she was witnessing the scene for the third time. I have friends from America as well as other countries and they have all had this curiosity for Indian culture and festivals. I would really love celebrate it every year just like the Indians do.” Clearly, whether one was Indian, Indonesian or Egyptian, the Diwali festivities, definitely created a chain of brightness that burnt a memory into everyone’s hearts and minds.
