I will put them down in angrezi script because even that has a role. Keywords will be Googl-able, and I will ask anyone with knowledge who recognizes a sloka to provide a translation, which my father did not give me - leading to what is a personal loss of narrative.
Every festival needs to be marked - at least a "Happy diwali" and a brief description of any special features of Diwali in your ancestral home - eg a particular item of food is traditionally cooked in my home for no discernible reason. Al this is part of the narrative.

Shiv,
Thank you. I appreciate your efforts in bringing forth the Hindu narrative. Hindu worldview and its traditions need to saved for future generations before they are irrevocably lost. Again, thank you.
