Divali is a great great thing.........Tim Gopeesingh (please don't pass judgement) used to have me and my family over for a open house indian food feast for divali....and it was as close to heaven on earth that I could remember........
When I was in college in Maryland, the Indian students union had an annual divali bash...........the spread was almost unimaginable.........I used to be the token non-indian in the dance, eating like a blind dog...........
I know it's a festival of light, whose meaning goes way way beyond eating indian food, but I have to say the vibe of divali is pure niceness......
God bless diversity......Happy Divali forumites !!
p.s. stay away from Chateynne (spelling ?)
