Celebrate Diwali Masala Style this Weekend
By Sugandha Malhotra
SUGAR LAND: It’s that time of the year when families get together, friends exchange gifts, diyas and rangolis adorn our homes and aroma of good food fills our kitchens.
It’s Diwali, signifying the victory of light over darkness. The end of all troubles and the beginning of an auspicious year. The triumph of good over evil and the anticipation of a better future, lights a hope in our mind and that’s exactly what Diwali is all about.
