HAPPY DEEPAVALI

The only known visitor to my blog who could be celebrating Deepavali is Sashi. He left a comment in the Hi Society! post. Happy Deepavali Sashi. I have other friends who celebrate Deepavali. There is Ravi and there is his brother Prasad. Both are wonderful people but hopeless at computers. I have been trying to persuade them to get a PC for themselves and get on the Net. I have to share stuffs that I found on the Net by making hard copies and snail-mail them to the brothers in Kuala Terengganu. Stuffs like these:
