Diwali is a festival of lights

I've met up with Laura Roebuck in Mumbai as she's come to India for work. We happened to be here for the celebration of Diwali, a Hindu holiday marking the new year. Frankly, it's involved fewer quiet lanterns and more firecrackers that make me think of rockets or roadside bombs than I would prefer, but this is supposed to be the last and final night. We've had fun being around with everyone wishing each other a Happy Diwali.

(We have not bumped into the Obamas yet).

I can't believe you're in India right now! Any chance you want to come down south to Bangalore for a little visit???
