A time to celebrate

Diwali is the festival of lights and brings the family together (“Diwali: The festival of lights explained”, Gulf News, November 6). It is a time of celebration and being with family and friends. It is my favourite festival and

I enjoy dressing up and eating all the festive sweets. While I have never celebrated Diwali in India, I have heard stories from my parents. This year we decorated our house with lights, flowers and rangoli (sand art). It is such a joyous time of the year and I look forward to it.
