Festival of Diwali gives me sweat memories  .Children wait for this celebrations ; because they love light and sweats.I think they concerned the festival is meant for these two things.Children observe parents are busy in preparing different kind of sweats and improving the appearance of house and courtyard.In some regions one month before they get ready for the festival.Mostly the celebration takes place five days. It is the celebration of light.........triumph of light over darkness......victory of goodness  .......purity etc.During these days most of them try to wear new cloths,women glamorize themselves with special henna.It is a time of enjoyment ...bursting crackers...visiting relatives houses....exchanging gifts...renewing relations.Children love these holidays than any other festival;even  homemakers enjoy this season due to offers and discounts.
