Legend has it that people of Ayodhya lighted up the entire kingdom with diyas in order to celebrate the return of Lord Ram. Happy Diwali. 04-VISHNUPRIYA MAHALAKSHMI CD MISC-20251019 TRACK#04 6:14 AKSHAYA TRITYA-2013; ANUP JALOTA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtChfVilqiw&list=RDWtChfVilqiw&start_radio=1 Do any of you remember this strange thing we used to play with on Diwali - it was a saap (सांप) or snake pellet - you light it and slowly this black thing would emerge coiled like a snake...it was a totally useless thing but I know we watched with fascination...or do you remember your first Diwali here in Ottawa, maybe when you came as a student and sat around with other students making or trying to make chhole (छोले) and puri (पूरी) ...and maybe play some teen patti (तीन पत्ती ) ...and that Diwali phone call to your parents over crackling phone lines. Times have changed, we can buy mithhai in so many places around Ottawa, go to the Hindu temple, put on YouTube to get the words to Lakshmi aarti. Some of our children have moved away and instead of that phone call we facetime as we do pooja and aarti...we have come a long way but still we value traditions. 05-AAYI HAI SHUBH DIWALI CD MISC-20251019 TRACK#05 4:59 SHUBH DIWALI-2013; AMITABH SINGH CHAUHAN “PRITAM” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8ga3vG2sOc Bollywood has been successful in beautifully capturing the festive spirit of Diwali.
