Jus Enjoy,, reading the description.
A young second generation Indian in the US was asked by his mother to
explain the significance of "Diwali" to his younger Brother, this is how
he went about it...
" So, like this dude had, like, a big cool kingdom and people liked
him. But, like, his step-mom, or something, was kind of a bitch, and she
forced her husband to, like, send this cool-dude, he was Ram, to some
national forest or something... Since he was going, for like, something
like more than 10 years or so.. he decided to get his wife and his bro
along... you know...so that they could all chill out together.
But Dude, the forest was reeeeal scary shit... really man...they had
monkeys and devils and shit like that. But this dude, Ram, kicked with
darts and bows and arrows... so it was fine. But then some bad gangsta
boys, some jerk called Ravan, picks up his babe (Sita) and lures her away
to his hood. And boy, was our man, and also his bro, Laxman,
pissed..... all the gods were with him...
So anyways,you don't mess with gods. So, Ram, and his bro get an army
of monkeys.. Dude, don't ask me how they trained the damn monkeys...
just go along with me, ok... .. so, Ram, Lax and their monkeys whip this
gangsta's ass in his own hood.
Anyways,by this time, their time's up in the forest and anyways...it
gets kinda boring,you know... no TV or malls or shit like that. So,they
decided to hitch a ride back home... and when the people realize that
our dude, his bro and the wife are back home... they thought, well, you
know, at least they deserve something nice... and they didn't have any
bars or clubs in those days... so they couldn't take them out for a
drink, so they, like, decided to smoke and shit...and since they also had
some lamps, they lit the lamps also. so it was pretty cooool... you know
with all those fireworks. Really, they even had some local band play
along with the fireworks and you know, what, dude, that was the very
first, no kidding.., that was the very first music-synchronized
fireworks... you know, like the 4th of July stuff, but just, more cooler and
stuff, you know.
And, so dude, that was how, like, this festival started.
