Post by: MOZ on Thu, 23 October 2014, 01:47:39: It's the festival of lights, without a doubt the biggest Hindu festival of the year and I'd like to share the joy with all of you.

Happy Diwali!

Let's post some backlit boards.

Lucky you! I am not religious, but my Sikh girlfriend loves to celebrate diwali! However due to midterms and labs, she doesn't get to much any more. It is a great holiday though!

No, that's Holi, and not only dusty dye, but buckets and buckets of colored water. It's so much fun, that they started celebrating it at my school in Singapore (Which is an International School).

Diwali means no alternate side parking on my street, so that's good for everyone!

That's all I know about it, though. Time to go learn!
