It is that time of the year again , when the whole world gets into festive mood. Out comes the candles , the Christmas trees, wine and decorations. Being a web development and SEO company in India, we don’t have as long a holiday as many of you probably do at this time of the year, but even for us the work gets little slow, as many of the customers take the time off. We wish all of you a very Merry X-mas . May your days / weekend be joyous with your family and /or dearest ones.

Each year Diwali comes in with waves of joy and fun, and brings in the loads of happiness. However, unfortunately a fact that cannot be denied is that little waves of unhappiness also surge steadily into many families along with Diwali fun. And things get spoiled!

Keep your pets and kids away from the fireworks. Most pet heart attacks in India happen during the scorching summer and Diwali, when sounds of bursting crackers outpace the tolerable limit. Kids and old ages are of no exception. Most often, out of the rage of excitement we forget about the potential danger of playing fireworks and ignore some of the most rudimentary precautions.

Here’s a set safety tips from Websys that can help you make a difference in your way of enjoyment this Diwali:

• Buy legal fireworks.
• Supervise children while they light fireworks.
• Light fireworks in a safe place away from houses.
• Hold the sparklers away from the body. Never make circles in the air.
• Do not lean down over the fireworks while lighting them.
• If you have question whether it is burnt or not, just ignore it; don’t go near it.
• Do not light fire crackers holding in hand.
• Shooters and Rockets should not be lighted during heavy winds and amidst busy mobs.
• Do not keep extra fireworks in pockets.
• Keep fireworks stock far away from your playing spot.
• Always wear cotton clothes while bursting crackers.
• Keep a water bucket always near you.
• Do not throw crackers crackers at your friends and stray animals around. Your joke may take away ones life.
• Be Prepared for Emergency. Keep all emergency numbers – especially fire station and police with yourself.

At the end let us again wish you very happy and safe Diwali. Enjoy!

Thank you

It would not be worthwhile to blog about Durga Puja unless I also given idea what it is . As many of you will know, Indians historically have been very religious people -  theoretically having over 33,000 Gods and Goddesses. Goddess Durga is one of the main deities amongst Bengalis, who symbolises a Female power who freed the earth and heaven from evil, mythologically. We celebrate her coming to earth and her stay for 5 days with us mortals – starting with MahaShashti, and bid her farewell on the Bijoya Dashami . On this auspicious day she leaves for heaven.

Beyond mythology , this time is also celebrated as one of the biggest social events. People from all parts of the country and abroad as well , come back home to celebrate this joyous occasions. Roads and localities light up in full brightness, colorful pandals and gorgeous deities. People get out in the streets to enjoy and watch all these , meet up with their friends and relatives and sit down in adda.
