6,7 and 8th Nov.

6th
Arrived Fatehpur at about 5 am.
After walk, visited Dr.Chetan. Wished him happy Diwali with roses. Advocate Digvijay Singh came with some vegetable from his village garden. Advocate Akhilesh came with sweets.
Narak Chaturdasi is celebrated today on the 14th day of waning moon of the month of Kartik.  On Narak Chaturdashi or Choti Diwali people distribute sweets to friends and family.Some also shop gold, silver and other precious things on this day just like Dhanteras.
7th
Diwali is celebrated. 
"Diwali is called the Festival of Lights and is celebrated to honor Rama-chandra, the seventh avatar (incarnation of the god Vishnu). It is believed that on this day Rama returned to his people after 14 years of exile during which he fought and won a battle against the demons and the demon king, Ravana." From Google
                  Neha's Rangoli of the day. She does it each Diwali. God bless her.
We had a number of visitors in the night, families, men ,women and children. We shared sweets. Among others were Ved  Prakash, Krishnanand, Akhilesh and family, Ajay ,Vinay Prakash and family. Puja had to finish before 7.57 pm.We did not celebrate  Diwali this year  as we do with plenty of lights every year due to sudden death of Dinesh, Vandana's husband  on 15th Oct.this year. Vandana, daughter of our elder sister, stayed in our house since her infancy. She took care of her maternal grandfather, that is, our father, in his old age. Lights were missing  this year except splash of some auspicious  clay lamps here and there. 
8th
SP Fatehpur came. Besides, Advocate Digvijay Singh, Akhilesh. Ajay and Bhavna with family visited. We went to late Naresh Bhaisaheb's house and Shivaji's house and joined in get-togethers of the families there..
