Gearing up for a grand celebration

It is the `Festival of Lights' that everyone waits to celebrate in a grand manner. As usual, this year too, there is no dearth for the exuberance.

Since many could not afford to miss their family during the festivity. All those who are away from the family have reserved tickets in train or bus to go home during the festival.

Almost every warehouse in the city is full and it takes hours to complete their shopping for everyone.

The kitchens in the sweet stalls are working round the clock to deliver the bulk orders.

Similarly, the cracker market too has opened up and some of the sellers have introduced home delivery of products worth Rs.500 and above to avoid rush.

Truly, everyone expects a bright Deepavali.
