Diwali evening.....


Diwali with crackers, rangolis, sweets, colored lamps and card games is the most festive day of my life in India.

For some, it is a one-day festival, for some it is a three-day one and for some it is five-day one. Nevertheless, this period from Dashera to Diwali, almost a fortnight, is the most festive period in any part of my country. 

I like the sky this evening that becomes colorful with crackers; a real feast to the eyes, a real joyous moment to clap like a child, with the equal intensity for both the rich and the poor. I like this evening where sweets are plenty and everyone wants to share with known as well as unknown folks around.

Diwali is not a festival of rich or poor, neither it is anymore contained to a religion or region; it is a festival to celebrate victory of good over evil, to celebrate the homecoming of all good things in life.

It is not just a Lakshmi Puja where one prays for abundant wealth. It is a day where we pray to begin a new chapter in our lives, where our quality of life is better in a way that we lead a life rather live a life.
