I was once in India during Diwali, the biggest festival in a land of
festivals, and asked a local friend where I should go to see and take
part in the festivities.
A week after Ha Noi rocked to a stunning rock-n-roll performance to
celebrate the Indian Festival of Lights, Diwali, it is HCM City''s turn
to enjoy a cultural bonanza this Saturday.
Indian band Girish and The Chronicle rock the

festival held on Saturday at Ha Noi''s American Club.
Of all the reasons to celebrate, the triumph of good over evil stands uppermost, whatever form the victory takes.Indians celebrate this victory in the most profound manner – dispelling darkness with light.
Boomarang, one of the top rock bands in India, are
staging a concert in Ha Noi to celebrate the Indian festival of Diwali
on November 17, at the American Club.
