Diwali is a time for celebration. And no celebration is complete without a party and Diwali is the one time when families consider card playing/gambling is considered auspicious!!! This sin is rather promoted and openly and boasted about in circles. The more card parties you attend the more popular you are tagged to be. This is a time to get your money out. This is the time to call up friends you haven’t spoken to in decades. This is a time to let loose. Diwali is the symbol of victory of truth over evil.
No party is complete without food. And when you have had a drink or two food is the highlight.
