Rangoli for Diwali

Caroline Wise helping draw a Rangoli for Diwali in Phoenix,Arizona

Another year, another Diwali, and with it comes a Rangoli celebrating this joyous time of year – well for Hindus anyway. Caroline is seen here helping Rinku, who actually drew the Rangoli. Caroline helps fill in the color. And this brings me to a point that also might help answer a question, what am I doing recognizing Diwali? Heck, I would like to celebrate everyone’s holidays. We are approaching the end of Ramadan in a few days and Eid al-Fitr is upon us as the Festival of Breaking the Fast – it is feasting time and Muslims are obligated to share their blessings, naturally, I’m all for that. In a little more than a week, Mexicans will celebrate Los Dias De Los Muertos or The Days of the Dead – great, let’s celebrate our relatives who have passed. End of November is Thanksgiving, let’s ask the world to feast on our celebration day, too. Next up we have Chanukah, Christmas, New Years’, Valentine’s Day, and four days after that is the Chinese New Year. If we are going to have globalized business, I’m voting for globalized holidays!
