2)If it comes on Friday or Monday then apply for 1 day vacation,If its not on Friday or Monday,calculate accordingly.
3)Purchase new clothes.
4)Purshase crackers/fireworks for kids.
5)If elders are there in family,be good with them 1 month in advance so that they will help you in making some traditional sweets.Otherwise purchase from market.
6)Clean you house with the help of kids.
7)Purchase lanterns(aakash kandil)/oil lamps.
8)Identify the people to whom you will be giving sweets as gifts.If you want,then you need to give!
9)Ask kids to purshase some Diwali greeting cards which you will be sending to many people(relatives,govt. officers,politicians,friends)
10)On the first day of Diwali,get up at 4 or 4:30 AM.

15)Join them.
16)Come back home and eat the sweets and other things.(Don't forget to wear those newly purchased clothes)
17)Exchange sweets with neighbours.How soever may be their quality,you must say sweets made by others taste great.
18)Call your relatives which you forgot to send greeting cards.and even if they are 1000 KMs away,request them to come to your house for eating sweets.
19)Now identify the people which are good for your business/job etc.You must courier these gifts in advance to people staying in another town.Go to thoese useful people and give them those gift with big smile on your face.Depending on the relationship,you may also recieve some gift in return.
Diwali goes for 3 days.Step 19 runs for 3days.All above steps should be executed on day 1.
Some other rancher will write steps for day2 and day3 here as Diwali comes closer.
