    I have a powerpoint presentation I once presented for a Diwali celebration in my company. Everyone liked it a lot ...even the Chinese programmers.
    It's 2/3rds about India (some interesting facts) and 1/3 rd about Diwali.

    Let me know if you want it and where you want me to send it to (email id).
