    Happy Diwali

    Diwali is the Hindu festival of lights which symbolizes the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance"
    It is also the beginning of the Hindu new year
    Happy Diwali to all!
    Have a healthy and prosperous year ahead
    Cheers.

    I liked the way you wrote what is all about.

    Re: Happy Diwali

    Hey thanks for asking my opinion. I already went through Eurasia chapters and there is just small but very important flaw in them, which affects the reader. That is, typo in names of characters at various occurrences. But as for your first story, you are doing good job. Keep up the good work.

    Hi Rajesh,
    The issue has been addressed post the first chapter.
    There were a couple of errors in terms on names but it has been resolved in the 2nd chapter and third chapter
    I am now into the fourth one and have a list of proof reading checks in place
    I have gone through Literotica's various forums and followed the procedure
    Cheers

    Secondly,
    1.Constructive criticism can be positive.If i am reviewing anything ,i list out all the positive aspects of the work i am reviewing and list out areas of improvement and not let the areas of improvement overshadow the review
    2.This is a massive epic i am attempting with detailed world and character building.
    3.Your review focuses on the one negative aspect of the 1st chapter which is typos
    4.I have seen many stories by authors in this forum and i have always been very positive about them and it is genuine positivity.
    5.I am very thankful to the authors who have been positive and detailed in their feedback in their forum posts and in their DM's to me and have focused on appreciating the idea behind a massive word building.Only a true lover of fantasy books could do that
    6.This forum generally has been positive towards almost all writers and i am glad i chose this forum to post the story
    Thanks!

    Hey sorry if I demotivated you in any way. It was not my intention. I am deleting my review. Keep up the good work.

    During the celebration, temples, homes, shops and office buildings are brightly illuminated. The preparations, and rituals, for the festival typically last five days,
    In the lead-up to Diwali, celebrants will prepare by cleaning, renovating, and decorating their homes and workplaces During the climax, revelers adorn themselves in their finest clothes,
    illuminate the interior and exterior of their homes with diyas (oil lamps or candles), offer puja (worship) to Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity and wealth, light fireworks, and partake in family feasts, where mithai (sweets) and gifts are shared

    You described it in a very impressive way. ! I wish i were rich enough for as trip there and younger enough in order to be able to walk in the illuminated streets.
    Thanks a lot !

    I remember reading awsome stories involving Indian & Pakistanis...they were at some different level. I badly miss them. I believe these two nationalities are underrepresented despite having some of the hottest women.
