Diwali, the grand festival in stature and
emotions is completed, and I must say this year it was refreshing Diwali for me
and for my family. For past 10 years post my marriage being nested in Delhi,
NCR I have been celebrating Diwali here. And I must say this year was a best
Diwlai as it was celebrated in its true essence. Celebrations in overall were
focused to the rituals mainly and least time devoted to crackers.

For past couple of years I think people only
concentrated and connected this festival with burning of crackers and purchasing
as many crackers as they could. Diwali is not meant only for that...it is the
festival of love victory togetherness. This Diwali was all the more special as
I was away from the medicine kit too. For me the whole positivity of the
festival looses its charm if anyone in the home fells sick. And past years were
doing preparations of pooja and concurrently checking prescriptions of doctor.
It was quite disheartening to have a family member running with low energy in a
festival that we wait for whole year.
