Happy Diwali

It's Diwali, the festival of light.
As you light up the fireworks tonight,
Pray that each spark
Helps dispel the dark
From our hearts, filling it with delight!

Work and Diwali preparations have kept Inkspot away from the blog these last couple of days. However, we promise to be back full swing from Monday the 12th of November.

Here's wishing everyone a very happy Diwali. Let's raise a toast to the festival of lights!

Let the celebrations begin!

Once more it's that time of the year
When the Goddess comes home - she is here
All work now shall stop
We'll have fun till we drop,
Said Inkspot while slugging on beer!

This blog shall be on holiday as Inkspot heads out to enjoy the Durga Puja days. We will be back next week. Till then, enjoy the Pujas, Navratri and Dussehra dear readers. Also, Eid Mubarak!

Durga not welcome at Hogwarts?

An innovative pandal their dream,
They created the 'Hogwarts school' theme.
But soon Madame Rowling,
Came after them, growling,
Now Potter battles Goddess Supreme!

Happy Holi!

It is Holi, the festival of spring
When throwing colors is in full swing
And as we all play
May our troubles fade away
Let colors touch our hearts, make them sing!


Newsmericks wishes all its readers a very happy Holi. Enjoy with colors :-)
