   Thanks for the reminder, David!   
      
   FYI: Diwali has become India's biggest and most important holiday.   
   Diwali is India's major festival of lights, observed by Hindus, Sikhs,   
   Jains, and Buddhists.  Light symbolizes knowledge over ignorance.   
      
   The name "Diwali" comes from the Sanskrit word deepavali, meaning "a row   
   of lights".   
      
   Diwali is an ancient festival that developed over centuries, with its   
   earliest mentions found in the Kama Sutra." - Wiki
