Diwali is a great Indian Festival of Lights. It was one of my favorite festivals growing up. I still have fond memories of this colorful celebration with lots of fireworks and miss being home for it.
What do I win?
I would like to thank my readers and would like to show my appreciation by giving away a couple of cool items. I would choose 2 lucky winners at the end of the contest and they will each win one of the 
following 2 items.
- 1GB Kingston DataTraveller USB Flash Drive
- 1GB Kingston PhotoLoader SD Memory Card – comes preloaded with software to allow automatic transfer of photos to your PC & upload to Shutterfly.
I know it’s not much but expect to see much nicer prizes in the next giveaway as we grow 
with your support. After all, this is my first experience running a contest and I plan to learn the ropes by starting small.
How do I win?
I would like to keep this simple but give you a variety of options to enter. I have made it easy to enter and it won’t take more than a few minutes of your time.
- Post about it in your blog with a link to this contest post. It doesn’t have to be a post by itself. Even speed linking would do. Just leave a comment or use our Contact page with a link to your post – 5 entries
- Subscribe to our RSS feed. Before the end of the contest, you will get a secret word at the bottom of a post (it will appear only in the feed). Email it back to me to gain your entries. I will make sure it is easy to find in the feed. – 2 entries
- Stumble our home page. Just leave a comment if you did and I’ll take your word for it – 1 entry
You could just do one of the above or do all three and gain 8 entries. I told you I want to show my appreciation to my current readers. If you already read ShanKri-la in your feed reader, all you have to do is email me when you spot the secret word to gain 2 entries! It’s that easy to enter to win.
Update: I will link back to all those who blogged about this contest in the post announcing the winners.
Since the items don’t weigh as much I’ll mail it to you if a snail mail can reach you.
Contest Ends
We will randomly choose a winner from the entries on the very special Diwali day of Nov 7, 2007. So, get your entries in by midnight EST Nov 6th.
Hi! Is the contest open worldwide?
Yes, it is! I will ship it anywhere there is a mail service as the package size isn’t that big.

I used to enjoy having celebrations at school. Some of my classmates mums would come in and cook chapatis and bring in those really yummy really sticky sweets, mmmmmmmmmmmm.
