My second deepavali celebration all alone in Singapore; usually I call 2 important person on that day, 1st my mom and 2nd my fiancee (present), lover (past) & wife (future). what surprises me was there particular question, whether singapore celebrate deepavali? it is actually good question because I didn’t shared my previous year experience with them, so they thought I won’t be getting leave as well.
Coming to deepavali celebration in Singapore
Little India well known place for indians in singapore, deepavali will be celebrated with lots of light decoration all over all the streets in Little India, this year they have extended more lighting and covered all the streets almost they were switched ON for the past 1 month.
Crackers are banned in singapore so most of the deepavali fun is missing, like we can’t enjoy the skies in the night of deepavali how we are doing in India. In simple words, India – deepavali was full fun, enjoyment & beautiful & here it is another public holiday.
But Little India is happening place during deepavali because of shopping, stage programmes, food & long walk in the streets are really great fun; this year I went to deepavali shopping few days before and when I went to explore it was rush, for 30 minutes I felt like in Chennai (T.Nagar)
Eventhough I celebrated deepavali alone it was different experience this year.
