My Indian calendar is telling me that Diwali is October 21st. That is this Saturday. Today is Thursday and I am already getting emails wishing me a Happy Diwali. Don't get me wrong, I love Diwali and its great to spread the wishes at this time of the year. But, its a little early, don't you think?I guess since today is Dhun Teras many people start the celebrations today and totally get into the spirit by sending the Diwali emails. Even I am a little excited about doing the pooja tonight. It definitely gives you the feeling that wonderful times are ahead.
Here in US we are definitely missing out on the Diwali celebrations. Well, actually.... I don't know. Last time I celebrated Diwali in India I was 6 years old. Been to India many times, but never during Diwali. So I guess I am kind of lucky that I don't know what I'm missing. All I remember from my last Diwali in India is the fire crackers! Lots of them everywhere. All the shops are decorated and so many people stop by and visit that day and everyone is wearing nice clothes. And of course there is also the $$ :)

I guess I am not all that excited about Diwali because I haven't celebrated it in India where it is a big deal.
