Diwali - the Hindu Festival of Lights ...and firecrackers and gifts and celebrations.
I polled several folks in Indian outsourcing firms last week about how high-tech was changing the holiday. I had hoped someone would come back and say LED, and fireworks synchronization technology as was evident at the Olympics Ceremony in Beijing had arrived.
Not quite, but the gifts are increasingly electronic - no wonder Canon is rolling out 85 products in India and Apple the Indian version of the iPhone for the holidays and electronic cards are increasingly the rage.
Happy Deepavali Vinnie!
