Happy Diwali

To all the readers:
For this, is a special time when family
  And friends get together, for fun.
  Wishing laughter and fun to cheer your days,
  In this festive season of diwali and always!!!!!! !!
                 “Happy Deepavali”

Why Diwali / Deepawali??
Its Deep's (small lamps) Awali (rows and rows)
Lord Ram returned to rule "Bharat" country which would certainly bring prosperity for sure was the general feeling in everyone's life. He would accept the kingdom from his brother Bharat. Since supreme Lord Vishu's avatar Ram is coming back, rest of Gods will come to you as well. This made entire Bharat country celebrate and lit lamps to welcome. How this day turned in to worship of Laxmi (Lord of money) and Ganesh (Lord of prosperity)  is not known to me but I feel this must be related to the reason for people welcoming Lord Ram at the first place.

We not only clean the houses and shops, but also decorate them to lure Lord Laxmi. My childhood memories remembers Diwali as entire joint family gathering, entire city decorated with small lamps, market decorations and obviously fire crackers :)
