Not a single year have I missed celebrating Diwali in India. This is the first time I missed such a grand festival.
The Little India area was decorated so very well with lights and decorations atleast 20 days ago and they continue to have them for another 15 days after Diwali. This really made me think that I might have a great time in Singapore during Diwali. Well well it did not happen that way.
Diwali in Singapore was much less than my expectations. You cannot burst crackers here except the lighter ones like sparklers and others. I could only get them and light them late in the evening. In my apartment I was the only one lighting crackers while the chinese were busy with their routine work.
So it was like any other day for me here except that we had a long weekend! hmmm...

The moment you step out of home I think Diwali is not the same anymore ..Wherever you are .. :)
well, I partially disagree with you. We have Indians living all over the world and in Singapore 4% of the population are Indians. I did not see any celebration anywhere. Am sure whatever be the festival, Indians/friends can group together and have fun.
