Diwali has been celebrated here for teh past two days as here in Durban we have a very large Indian Community. They were brought here as indentured workers for the sugar plantations many years ago. The upside of Diwali is that our friends bring us delicious eats as it is a time of sharing, but the downside, is the horrible bangs from the fireworks used in the celebration of The Festival Of Lights by many Hindu Families. (Like Guy Fawkes and New Year, a torrid time for animals. We sedate our big dog during the loudest times)
