Today is Diwali, the Festival of Lights -- when people light oil lamps and fireworks to signify the victory of good over evil. It's time to meet family, friends and enjoy festive food. 

It's a moment of celebration for people in India and communities all over the world. Diwali is celebrated around the world, particularly in countries with significant populations of Hindu, Jain and Sikh origin. 

Though this year we will be not celebrating Diwali due to my uncle's untimed death. We will pray goddess Laxmi to give us strength to overcome this difficult time and bless us with peace and prosperity in coming years too.

Today I am also celebrating my 13th marriage anniversary, I missed Yoko now she is in Japan. 

Here are some pictures from our 2014 Diwali Celebration! 

Happy Diwali everyone!
