Spectators of firework
October 27, 2011 - Akshaya Nagar, Bangalore Festival of Deepavali as usual is known for electric atmosphere with loud explosions, colourful bursts of light and billowing smoke. Normally this would be enough to make you believe you live in a war-zone, which is easily belied by the friendly demeanor of people. Another side to this loud and boisterous festival is calm and joyous exchange of goodies. Truth be told, all the excess of sweets and food leaves you couple of kilos heavier after the festival.
