Happy Diwali!

It's 6:00 am in Kolkata and the jungle drums have begun! The sound is vaguely reminiscent of band practice on fall mornings before football games back home. I'm pretty sure they don't start this early at home though! The festival has officially begun and I plan to take in as much of the chaos as possible. This morning I am out for a walk with my friend Arub, a local photographer who is showing me the cool places to see. It's going to be a colorful day in the city of Joy!
