Diwali, which is also known as Deepavali, falls on the darkest night of the Hindu calendar when the moon can’t be seen in the sky.
The festival signifies the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. wapo.st/4zBffUP

Someone from Bangalore would have addressed the same thing but in completely hatred mode.

Wishing everyone celebrating the Festival of Lights a safe and prosperous Diwali!
As we celebrate the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil, may this special time bring renewed hope, joy, and community.

I will never understand Hindu hate. For such a peaceful people, it is completely irrational and manufactured.
Suddenly India ki respect badh rhi h, California ke governor wish kar diya Happy Diwali and also Michael Bloomberg.

Every Diwali, I read this again.
A 21-year-old wrote it knowing he wouldn't see the lights next year. He wanted to travel, build something of his own, adopt a dog. Ordinary dreams. He just ran out of time for them.
I'm home in Delhi tonight with my parents. Diyas lit, too much mithai, the usual noise. Nothing special, and that's exactly what makes it special.
We treat these evenings like they're guaranteed. They aren't.
Put the phone down after this. Sit with your people a little longer. Call the ones who aren't in the room.
Happy Diwali 🪔
#WATCH | Hassan: On Tamil Nadu CM C. Joseph Vijay's letter to PM Modi over the Mekedatu dam, Karnataka CM DK Shivakumar says, “I hope the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu is aware of the law of the land. There is no need to seek permission from anyone. The Supreme Court of India has already given permission for Karnataka to build the dam at its own site, subject to the condition that we release 177 TMC of water to Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu will also benefit more from the Mekedatu reservoir. It is called a balancing reservoir. We have already identified around 5,400 acres of forest land in other areas, which we will hand over to the Forest Department. That process is already underway. As soon as it is completed, we will submit our application. Karnataka stands united on this issue. Cutting across party lines, all BJP and NDA leaders have agreed to support Karnataka on the Mekedatu issue. I appeal to the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu to send a team. We will not misuse this opportunity. There is no question of fighting. Those days are over. The Supreme Court has given its verdict. Let us respect the law of the land. Let us work together and share water. Let us strengthen the bonds of unity among ourselves..."

Massive respect for people who send plain simple Happy Diwali messages as text and not gifs and pictures. Rare humans. Keep them close to you.
