Hello my friends!
i want to know about the way of great celebration of Diwali.

Diwali is the main festival of Hindues. but all relagious also celebrate of this festival.

So plz reply. because i want to celebrate the festival of Diwali with great injoyment.

Well, I’m from India and we’re celebrating Diwali today – the festival of lights. I’d like to know what people of other cultures think about this festival and if they celebrate it. (Cause i just read in the paper that Obama lighted candles in White House as an expression of celebration)

Please reply!

my cousin from india came all the way to visit me for five days. the very first thing he asked me was what i’m doing that i am busy all the time. when i told him everything, he looked at me and was able to tell i was making excuses. i guess in a way it made me realize i was hurting his feelings. he was expecting to see me in india with my sister last year but i never came. when he called me, i told him i got busy and his reply was "omg! eveyone is busy." a week after they left, i sent him a picture from his visit and he replied "we miss the fun and action we had there." then i wrote to him for india’s independence day and he replied within two minutes then i called him for raksha bandhan. he told me i can write to him once twice a month. when i met him during his visit to new york last year, he told me the more continous time i spend with family, the more i’m going to remember them. now i’m starting to remember them. as an honest opinion, since i remembered him, do u think he still mad at me for making excuses about being busy? i wrote to him on his personal email instead of his office email in rgds to the new delhi bombs and didnt hear back from them. is there a way i can gain respect from him? i feel horrible. despite that, when my sister went to india, he bought me a jewelry box, bangles, a blanket, and a shawl. in new york, he bought me an indian style purse along with artificial jewelry. i guess he just wanted me to remember him. i dont know what i can do to show my cousin i’m remembering him. would an email once a month help? i dont want him to think he’s getting a lot of email from me. he told me his comapny doesnt mind emails because he told me sending him emails is like writing him a letter. please send me honest feedback. to tell you the truth, all of my cousins in india are married and have kids of their own and i never had the chance to attend any of their weddings. when i started college, my dad’s brother’s daughter was getting married and my dad told me i had to go to the wedding. i had a horrible time. everyone ignored me, nor did anyone talk to me and they left me out in all of the cousin get-togethers. i guess that showed me how to be rude to others. please send me ur honest opinion. chanvces are i might write to him for diwali this year then write to him once a month or so on his office email. as it made me realize that he came all the way from india and he had to take time off and had to go through a lot of trouble to come visit me, i guess in a way he deserves a lot more respect.
i’ve gotten complaints from him in the past that i stopped writing and calling.

when my aunt and uncle were visiting us from india, my aunt told my mom to call her brother for raksha bandhan. she told her brother that she will not remember him because he didnt come visit her in america. is that rude? last year, my cousin was in the usa but he didnt come visit me. i went there and i only got to spend three days with him. after he went back to india, i only wrote to him when he asked me to. i sort of missed him alot. when i called him for raksha bandhan last year, my minutes on my phone card ran out and he called me back within two seconds. this year, he came to america again with his wife and 2 sons and they came to visit me for five days. after they left, i realized that they wanted to spend five days with me so i remember them. they flew from india to new yorl, then from new york to california, then from california back to india. they took a 7 am flight from new york and arrived in california around 10 am pst. they went back to india on june 23rd. they flew directly from california and took the last flight in the evening. his kids started their school on july 1st. after they left, i sent him a picture from his vacation and got a reply "we miss the fun and action we had there." i wrote to him for india’s independence day and i got a reply in two minutes "great to hear from you." when i called for raksha bandhan, my cousin answered the phone. when i told him who was calling, he said "HI". I plan to write for Diwali. This morning my mom told me to call her sister because she called us yesterday. my mom doesnt let me call her brother. i got complaints from my cousin that i stopped writing and calling. if i start writing, what are the chances of me getting a complaint i stopped calling? i realize my cousin and his family came from the other side of the world to visit me. now, i’m kind of missing them and remembering them. both my cousin and his wife involved me in everything and made sure i wasnt left out. can i get some honest opinions? please be truthful
my cousin deserves to be remembered for travelling a long distance, going through a lot of trouble to come visit me, taking a lot of time off from his job, and flying back to india from California.

here is a question: since diwali is next tuesday, i wrote to four of my cousins in india. so far, three of them replied. one of them said "Thanks. WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY DIWALI." another one said "thank a lot for the good wishes. hope you have a joyous and prosperity diwali. enjoy yourself and burst a lot of crackers." the other one said "good to hear from you and thanks for remembering us on this auspicious occassion. sending greetings, best wishes, and hope you too have lots of sweets and fun. rgds to bui. cheeers. is there a way of know if a cousin likes me more than others. the way i see it, only one of them really has a connection with me.

also, could u give me ur opinion on this as well. when my cousin came to visit, his wife was helping the kids with their homework. my cousin and i were up in my room chatting and catching up. one of the kids was misbehaving. when i asked him if he should go see what the problem was, my cousin’s reply was "he’ll get in trouble. I’m surprised. does that mean spending time and chatting with me was more important to him than checking on his kids? please give me ur opinion

here is an answer: Writing your cousins in India is forging relationships with them. This is a great way to know them and keep in touch and
Yes at the time it was more important to him. He probably disciplines his children all of the time, but he doesn’t get to spend time with you
what does forging relationships mean?

back in 2007, i did not inform my cousin i was or wasnt coming to india with my sister..the day my sister met my cousin in india, he called me and said," we thought we’d see you too." i told him i got busy and his reply was, "omg! everyone is busy."

a few weeks ago, i wrote to my cousin for diwali saying, "greetings and warm wishes and my cousin replied, "greetings and best wishes and he asked me if i was coming to india for one of my cousin’s weddings..i never replied him i am not coming..is it possible that he will assume i am coming.if i dont inform him i am not coming, will he call me and say, "we thought we’d see you at the wedding."

the reason why i cant go is because thingd are rough in the usa and my mom and i already went to europe..my cousin will get mad because he had to go through a lot of trouble to take time off to visit me in america with his wife and children when his company citifinancial was going through a rough time..

can someone tell me their opinion..will my cousin call me if i dont inform him i am not coming for the wedding
