E1738 Congressional Record, Volume 162 Issue 183 (Friday, December 23, 2016) [Congressional Record Volume 162, Number 183 (Friday, December 23, 2016)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1738] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] IN RECOGNITION OF THE DIWALI AT TIMES SQUARE CELEBRATION _____ HON. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of new york in the house of representatives Friday, December 23, 2016 Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the Diwali At Times Square celebration of Diwali, the Festival of Lights. I particularly want to recognize Neeta Bhasin, President and CEO of Event Guru and ASB Communications, for her extraordinary effort in organizing this event. The largest Asian-Indian event in the United States, it has successfully united Hindus, Sikhs and other Diwali celebrators from all over the world in the heart of New York to share the joyous occasion. Diwali At Times Square started in 2013 and has since grown into an eight-hour event featuring delicious food, fashion, arts and crafts, and Bollywood performances. It displays Asian-Indian culture to the world and engages people of all ages and backgrounds in the values of Diwali: light over dark, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. This year, I had the pleasure of attending Diwali At Times Square. The energy and joy at the celebration is contagious. Times Square, one of the brightest places on earth, is the perfect location to honor the Festival of Lights. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating Neeta Bhasin and Diwali At Times Square for helping everyone in the New York Metropolitan region celebrate this beautiful holiday. ____________________
