The festival of lights

There were marigolds everywhere for being strung on the doorway. Heaps of them were lying on the roadside waiting for buyers. Some were long  snakes of  garlands.

Do not fire crackers this festival. They are harmful to the environment,said a leaflet brought  out by a schoolgirl.

We had hung a line of serial   lights on the balcony and a  marigold garland on our doorway  This time round  we would have more light than sound.
