00:00It�s time for Diwali in the UAE and the spirit of festivity pervades the entire country.
00:14The Indian expatriate community is all set to welcome the festival of lights and happiness
00:20with palpable enthusiasm and energy. Rows and rows of flowers, earthen and ceramic lamps,
00:26pots and tea lights decorate shops. Busy shoppers throng the bazaars for traditional stuff.
00:32I�m from England, visiting Dubai. I�ve come to see my brother. I�m really looking
00:36forward to celebrating Diwali here. We�ll be going to the temple on Sunday. Yeah, just
00:41to experience what Diwali in Dubai will be like. We enjoy it very much back in England.
00:47I�m from Dublin, Ireland and I�m visiting Dubai to do a bit of shopping for clothes.
00:54In Dublin, it�s not that much grand, but here it looks like there are lots of lights
00:58and you have these whole Indian shops where you can buy very traditional Indian clothes
01:04and lots of Indian sweets. So, I plan to take a lot of this back to Ireland. It�s about
01:10being different this Diwali. Happy Diwali from the Dulais from England and Canada.
01:16It�s business time for fashion houses, jewelers and traditional sweet shops. See, we have
01:23a wide variety of people coming. It�s not just the locals, it�s also the foreigners.
01:28You will be amazed to see more foreigners do the shopping for Diwali than the residents.
01:33Trend is traditional. Traditional is what people are looking for to buy. The antique,
01:37the temple jewellery collection that is coming new.
01:40So folks, dispel the darkness from your heart, banish all the sorrows and get ready to savour
01:45the taste of true Indian traditions and hospitality. Suchitra Bachpai Chowdhury for GALAK NEWS.
