Just thought you folks might be interested. This coming Monday, Hindus all over the world celebrate Deepavali, the Festival of Lights, here in Singapore as well as in India. Deepavali celebrates the triumph of the gods over the forces of evil in Hindu mythology. On Deepavali, oil lamps are lit in the evenings and children are given sweets and candy. You folks might like to read more about it here.

A fitting follow-up on Halloween if you ask me.

Wonder if any IronWorks members are Hindu, BTW?
