In her new home in the West, far from the warmth and familiarity of her native New Delhi, Gita anticipates celebrating the Hindu festival Divali. In the November gloom of her new apartment, Gita longs for her extended family in New Delhi and the warmth she's left behind... but with her parents and her best friend, she lights the diyas for the festival, and she comes to see that the lights of Divali can beat the darkness outside and the sadness within.
