Happy Diwali : Published in 'Sakal' (Oct 24, 2011)

Context:
This cartoon is published in 'Sakal' newspaper on Oct 24, 2011.
As it is published in the Investment supplement, in this cartoon
I am wishing all the readers a very Happy and Prosperous Diwali in 'Money' context.

Translated:
Well, although I am not very good poet, here is rough translation.
I've done the rhyming in Marathi, which cannot be as it is translated.

Credit the Happiness
Debit all worries
By investing contentment
Rip the dividends of love
With 'mutual' understanding
Let the smiles be intact
Wish you all a very happy
and prosperous Diwali


Wish you all a Very Happy Diwali !!
