Showers Fail to Dampen Diwali Shoppers Spirit

The non stop north east monsoon showers for the last two days did not dampen the spirit of Diwali shoppers in Sivakasi town. Textile showrooms & Fireworks Showrooms were swarmed by people with only three days to go for Diwali. Most of the showrooms at NRKR Road were decorated with fancy items and large paper models of fireworks were kept on display at the entrance to grab the attention of the customers. Wading through the rains and the water clogged roads of NRKR Road and way to bus stand, determined shoppers made their final purchases. If it was an adventure for the shopper in confronting the poor pothole-filled water clogged roads, it was equally tough for the shopkeepers especially roadside vendors and hackers. Despite the North East Monsoon rains, the shoppers continued walking through the roads with large shopping bags on the way. The crowds may not have been as high as before but the area is still packed, and Tuesday (21-10-2014) is definitely going to see a huge turnout, as workers get their Diwali bonus.
