Hey Oscar!
How are you? Are you enjoying the weekend? I am!
You didn’t know that I’ve been doing training sessions
at the climbing club, you didn’t? I’m having a great time
– the trainer, Mr Hanks, is amazing. You’ve met him,
hasn’t he?
Something funny happened at the club today while we
were listening to mountaineer Jason Hadderley give a
talk about his experiences in the Himalayas. He was
showing us some of the equipment that he uses and
one of the new members, Jade, asked him, ‘What for
do we have to wear that ugly harness? It’s so uncool.’
Mr Hadderley looked at her and said, ‘Well, it might be
uncool, but not as uncool as what might happen to you
if you aren’t wearing one and you fall down the side of
a mountain!’ That was a stupid thing for her to ask, it
was?
So, you told me that you’d gone to a film festival last
Friday, didn’t you? Who you go with? Was it
interesting? What did happen after it was over? Did
you stay in the city centre? Oh, I can’t wait to meet you
on Monday. Which train does stop at Baker Station?
We’re meeting there, isn’t it?

My Culture – An Essay on the Festival of Diwali
by Deepa Singh
Diwali, or the festival of lights, is one of the most
important festivals in my culture. It is a family and
community celebration. There is a lot of interaction
between family members during Diwali. The word
means ‘rows of lighted lamps’. Hindus and Sikhs
decorate their shops and homes with small oil
lamps or candles. I’m Hindu, and I was named after
the festival. Deepa means ‘lamp’.
The festival is celebrated in autumn each year. It
lasts five days and it starts with people lighting their
oil lamps for the goddess Lakshmi so that she will
come into peoples’ homes and bring wealth. The
actual day of Diwali is on the third day of the
festival. This is when there is a new moon and the
moon appears in a crescent shape. People usually
clean their homes. They also leave their doors and
windows open as a form of politeness to the
Goddess Lakshmi so that she can come inside their
homes. They draw colourful patterns and shapes
around their homes to welcome the gods – these
are called rangoli. Diwali is the biggest shopping
period in India. People buy new clothes and the
right etiquette is to give gifts to friends and family as
a way of showing appreciation for each other.
These are usually dried fruits and sweets. During
Diwali, families get together for a meal. There is
also a strong tradition of giving food to the poor
during Diwali. There is also a huge firework display
that people attend. Stick dancing is another Diwali
tradition. The dancers hold sticks and perform a
dance for an audience.
Diwali is a festival about the victory of good over
evil, light over darkness, hope over despair. There
are different stories about the Diwali in different
parts of India. In the Gujarat region, the festival
honours Lakshmi. In Nepal, Diwali celebrates the
victory of Lord Krishna over the evil king
Narakaasura. Lord Krishna rescued his wife Sita
from King Narakaasura.
4 3
In Bengal, the festival celebrates the goddess Kali.
During Diwali children are told these ancient stories
by their parents to educate them about right and
wrong.
Diwali is celebrated by Indians all over the world,
including in Britain. Visitors to British cities during
Diwali might see vivid firework displays and street
parties. If you stop to ask what is going on you will
be welcomed and asked to join the celebration!
Diwali is a beautiful, meaningful festival. I’m very
proud and happy to celebrate it with my family every
year.
