    Thanks a lot Ammar and your Hindi was perfect.
    It is very difficult to define which festival is for whom in India. The same festival has a different meaning for different religions and sometime different regions. Sikhs in any case have branched out from Hinduism so there is very little difference. There are families where one son is a Sikh and the rest are Hindus. Hindus visit Gurudwars in large numbers.
    You know what here we have a great advantage, when in need, we visit religious places of different faiths so that one way or the other God does help us. Remember T-20 :) God, Allah, Christ all came to our rescue because we have players from all religions. As we say in India “Is desh ka to Bhagwan hi malik hai”( God alone can help this country). Having faith in so many religions helps:))
    I hope nobody gives this comment a philosophical turn!!!!

    Happy Diwali :)

    Though indian movies shows a lot about dilwai, all glamorous event full of firecrackers and new cloths and sweet stuff.. yet I wonder how an average person in India spends their diwali..

    The cost of the clothes can differ, the quality and quantity of the crackers may differ and the quality of sweets may be different but Diwali is the biggest festival in India and everybody rich or poor celeberates it.
