Wow! What's happening? First Barack Obama celebrates Diwali at the White House, and now the British PM follows suit. Must be something in the air, anyway I'm not complaining it's great news! In London, Diwali was celebrated for the first time at 10 Downing Street, amid chanting of Vedic prayers for world peace, with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown terming it a "historic event".
"This is a great day for Downing Street, a great day for us and a great day for Britain to celebrate Diwali for the first time in Downing Street. This is a historic event," a beaming Brown told the gathering.
