Denarau, Fiji

By: Kerry

The Festival of Light is one of the big celebrations on the Hindu calendar. Fijian Indians decorate their houses with lights, exchange homemade sweets and it’s a bad night to be a dog, as EVERYONE lets off firecrackers.

Anjee Prasad, who owns Farmboy, the wonderful service that will deliver fresh produce to us just about anywhere, and who is a force of light herself, invited a group of us to celebrate with her and her family (husband Kamlesh and daughters Angelie, Angeline and Ashleen) at their home.

It was a trip back to childhood, to the ‘good old days’ when you could still hold a ball shooter in your hand…
