Diwali Mela

I have internet again! Hooray!

Yesterday, the college hosted its own little Diwali Mela. Diwali is next week, and seems to be the Hindu equivalent of Christmas, from what I have been told. Its also known as the festival of lights, where candles are lit up in windows all over the place, typically in traditional earthen sort of candle holders, diyas if I remember the name correctly. The Diwali Mela was basically a shopping event, with lots of different stalls, ngos, local boutiques, and lots of food. Including waffles with dark chocolate and gelato, but I won't get into that. Here are some pictures!
