Diwali diyas decoration pictures are really great and i have no word to describe that how beautiful that pictures.Diwali is a major festival of india and it is also known as festival of lights. All Indians are celebrated this festival with great joy.It is also true that Diwali remain incomplete without exchange of <A HREF="http://www.infibeam.com/Diwali_Gifts/" REL="nofollow">Diwali Gifts</A>. But it is not possible for NRI People to meet relative and family on Diwali festival. So, they send online <A HREF="http://www.infibeam.com/Diwali_Gifts/" REL="nofollow">diwali gifts to india</A> to their relative and loved one.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16989104102154388508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18166829.post-85461866246273646512008-01-11T03:19:00.000+05:302008-01-11T03:19:00.000+05:30Hi dear Rauf, How are you doing my dear friend?Jus...Hi dear Rauf, <BR/>How are you doing my dear friend?<BR/>Just thinking of you, I showed some Lightballs for a good reason on my blog , you might like it?<BR/><BR/>Hug from JoAnn (Holland)Jo's-D-Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620409244855380131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18166829.post-19853171294084615912008-01-06T08:03:00.000+05:302008-01-06T08:03:00.000+05:30It sure is different there than it is here.

Such days generate interest, we spend money, sometimes on charity. good for business too. <BR/>hope you are doing fine Zareba.<BR/>please stay warm.raufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069291890495563749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18166829.post-79624626333702526952007-12-24T18:15:00.000+05:302007-12-24T18:15:00.000+05:30RUTH, toppa slippa sounds wonderful, sounds better...<B>RUTH</B>, toppa slippa sounds wonderful, sounds better than topslip.

Should not be religious but mostly used in religious terms. <BR/>Actually it should mean 'going after' <BR/>preparing for examination following strict dicipline, taking care of your health so on.<BR/>love and hugs Lorenzo.raufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069291890495563749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18166829.post-49709979150284047492007-12-23T21:22:00.000+05:302007-12-23T21:22:00.000+05:30Hi My deares friend RAUF!You are such a sweetheart...Hi My deares friend RAUF!<BR/>You are such a sweetheart! Thanks for your comment on my dad's memory, I do not feel sad, he is happy, he was so uch in pain last years (cancer). I went with him to hospitals 3x weekly, while my house is 4 hours away from where he lived. I have done it with pleasure, He's worth it! So Now he is resting in peace, "dust to dust" YES! we return to where we came from, but didn't we came from heaven? So he went beack to heave, as we all go there after our lifes... Thanks my dear you are such an angle, so sweet is your reaction. Thanks!
