Diwali (pronounced "Divali") is one of the biggest festivals of the year. It runs for three days, starting on Thursday and running through Saturday. It's the festival of lights, but there's also a sense of renewal and the promise of making more money next year. It ends up being a cross between New Year's Eve and the fourth of July.
On Thursday night I met up with a couple friends (and a bunch of new people) at a restaurant called Ebony. It's on the top floor of one of the tallest buildings in Bangalore, and we had seats on the outdoor patio. We had a beautiful panoramic view. We spent the evening drinking beer, eating spicy chicken tikka, and hanging out. In the background there were fireworks constantly exploding over the city - it went on for three hours, and you could always hear the faint pops and crackles of the distant "crackers."
