Language seems to be OK nothing wrong with language at all. Lets take all comments professionally. Diwali is Diwali and Celebrations remain celebrations but its debate about celebrations in office and establishing as customary or priliveges.
Social greetings are part of office culture as well as festivity greetings but all this limited to greetings not celebrations in office sponsored by office to organise cultural events is something resemble like working in and attending school or college gatherings.
This is not good for decorum and dignity of workplace ethics.
If you think otherwise, thats your personal opinion there is no restriction on sharing opinions.

I am totally in favour of Mr Pankaj. well Mr Sawant I think culture & festivals are made to be celebrated with each & everyone.Its not limited to only family & relatives.well it depends on each & every company ethics & atmosphere.As you reside in saudi you feel accordingly.May be your company ethics dnt follow it.And you have no obstruction for it.But this does not apply for all.The topic was not to debate but it was to understand different ways to celebrate Diwali in office. I think every true Indian will definetly be in favour of Mr Pankaj.

Hello Mr. Sawant,
It is NOT ridiculous. As senior members in the field we must respect the sentiments of all those who work in 24/7 organizations and the promoters of such organizations.
Police force, fire brigade, health care staff are a few I wish t mention here for you who are not in 'commercial' activity. I only pity that you are probably caught up in a country where such get-together is remaining a pipe dream for many.
In fact, I work for an American client, and in my organization we have the privilege of celebrating major Indian festivities, and all my staff attend to routine (foregoing the pleasure of being with the family members), and we call that a working holiday! The events we organize help in retention besides helping the staff move with the peer group closely.

Hi,
Diwali celebrations is an occasion the would get the employees closer. you can make it madatory for the employees to be dressed in ethinic wear. You can arrange for a high tea. Distributing sweets is a must. also can give a packet of Diyas/candles to the employees. Ask then to decorate the office with flowers and Rangoli. Also u can organise a Diwali lucky draw for the employees.

Dear Mr.sawant, First of all, I would like to agree to disagree with you on your opinion of celebration in the office. Celebrations are part of indian culture. If you notice Hindu's will have more number of festivals spread across everywhere. We have lots of fun and entertainment even in a marriage as otherwise it will be lot of tension and anxious moments for the parents and the Bride's family. That is our beauty. All corporates are celebrating every festival to cheer up the Employees which is like recharging the batteries to get better productivity. They allocate big budgets for this purpose. Employees also looking and waiting for the celebrations to show their talents. It is the responsibility of the HR team to bring out the hidden talents of the Employees during these entettainments.
Secondly, your language is unacceptable by any standards. You might have a difference of opinion, but there is a way to express your opinion. Kindly express yourself in a more soft way, so that others are not getting offended. This is my humble request to you.
Thank you anyway.
Regards,
Jayaram.
