The Sights, Sounds & Smells of Diwali.


India is the land of festivals- we have festivals through the year round. But, as a kid, I think no festival came even close to the air of expectancy and joy that Diwali evoked. Deepavali, as we call it, down South in Tamilnadu, was my absolute favorite as a kid.
After a decade or more, I spent this Diwali last month, back in India, at home in Chennai. I was in India to do most of the sourcing and prep work for the big bang:) launch of Artikrti].
