Sivakasi Stunned

As Diwali is nearing Sivakasi is stunned, due to floating population in the town. Diwali crackers buyers from variuos States, cities, towns and villages are eager in buying the fancy items in fireworks. There are lot of roadside shops placed in last 5 days. As bonus has been given from last week onwards, there was high traffic jam at all the times in bazar and the road to bus stand. All the transporters prefer fireworks loads rather than normal loads. The transporters godown is also overcrowded, because of Diwali season. There is rush in sweet stalls also. There may be a chance for a heavy rain in Sivakasi for next two days. Today it is cloudy, breezing and rain showering from early morning. Eventhough it is raining, everyone carrying gift boxes, diwali dresses with big smile on their face. Diwali celebration begins in Sivakasi from last Saturday night itself in most of the streets. Totally Sivakasi is stunned due to Diwali festival.
