It's Time to Celebrate Diwali!

At my job, I am a minority, probably for the first time in my working life. I LOVE diversity and enjoy being surrounded by different cultures and back grounds. Currently working on my project, there are 3 Americans (myself included), 3 Chinese, 4 Germans, 5 Indians, a Bulgarian and one guy from Bekistan. I work very closely with 4 of the Indian guys (Chola, Sandeep, Raj, & Prashant) and have really enjoyed getting to know them. I was especially delighted when Sandeep asked me yesterday afternoon if I'd like to perform at their festival of lights. I responded, "Oh you mean Diwali?" Naturally, he was shocked that I knew what that was, but when he inquired as to how, I stealthly changed the subject. How embarrassing would it be to tell him that everything I know about desi-American culture I learned from watching The Office? I'm so excited though! I've got to find a good cheer leader uniform that covers my G's. I'll try the Salt Lake Distribution Center.
