DIWALI 24





D I W A L I  2 4
a celebration of India & the world
it's all about relevance


 most indians live vicariously
through one of their 
bollywood idols











feels like an invitation
there's an innocence and an audience
a new dance

In everything & everyone living here.
The Diwali is our Halloween & Christmas
rolled into one 3 day celebration in India
 now synchronized - this year, both Oct 31 - Nov 02.

2024 is an eclipse
an oddity

Arriving late in Mohali Punjab on Saturday Oct. 25, 2008;
waking up on the eve of Diwali in black/red sheets, Majestic Hotel
after sleeping for 2 days - extra strength jetlag.
late afternoon - only a few more hours
of daylight

Shah Rukh Khan on the TV post shower.
My first realization about India
Idols are everything

Still wet, drying my hair w/a towel.
I'm thinking ... holy shit, Bollywood rocks.
Lanterns, fireworks, firecrackers outside
downstairs, coffee at 5pm - almost dark.

Stepping out, warm (feels like late august) - humid;
orange lights, smells like curry & smoke - dogs everywhere ...


Non stop - 3 days;
incredible


Yes sir, black, gold seal
