Diwali in Delhi

I have been wanting to do this post (extremely important from my perspective) for a few days but have been quite busy.
Diwali night in Delhi and what would one expect ... brightly lit city, decorated with all the splendor. Well here is some news... my family decided to visit Cannaught Place / India Gate, the works on diwali night after dinner to see the रौनक there on this very important festival and lo and behold, it was barren there there... nothing... zilch बिल्कुल खाली no lighting, no decoration whatsoever at both the places. It was shocking for all of us. What is that happening?? Saving Electricity or being unreasonably miser !! If the government is serious about saving electricity / money then the government just needs to do its job and nothing extra.
Diwali is one festival which is close to the Indian culture and we felt bad at these city landmarks totally barren and not decorated at all.
I hate to think this way but the thought that came to my mind is... lets wait for Christmas and see the status again.
