@ Marky: you dont have to be religious to have fun in this madness. especially if you're living somewhere in the east India.
Thats the best part of it, tbh. you just go with the flow. its like if i were to be visiting London at Christmas, i would enjoy the festival anyways, right? its not like i will have to be Christian to have fun!
definite downside: the CROWD! **shudders**
