For readers who aren't from India and wondering about the "festive season", the Indian festive season is different from US. The festive season is generally considered the period between two festivals Dussehra (triumph of good over evil) [0] and Diwali (festival of lights) [1]. In 2014, the Dussehra and Diwali fall on 4th October and 23rd October, respectively.
