Diwali Euphoria
Diwali is round the corner and though apart from cleaning my house, I haven’t done anything so far for welcoming the festival, I somehow am happy inside.
I am not into blowing money in crackers and also against child labour employed in cracker industry and against air & noise pollution and all other social issues which crop up during this time and later subside again to crop up next year, somewhere deep inside, I cherish watching those crackers lit the sky and go boom with those wonderful sparkles. Amazing sight indeed!! Festivals bring with it a sense of joy and I eagerly wait for the same. For me it’s more of meeting people, decorating house (just for yourself), Diwali Pujan and watching those crackers. So I am enjoying everything just because I am in festive mood.
Born and brought up in Delhi, since childhood I have seen the ostentation in certain people’s behavior in small and big occasions. Festivals are a part of that too. Come festivals and it becomes evident. Diwali gifts and the money you spend in crackers and cards game is directly attributed to your monetary success that year. However things have changed drastically over the years and mixed culture is evident still some pompousness is evident.
Not delving into what’s right what’s wrong or any political issue, I just want to mention that in spite of Traders Association’s declaration of “Kali Diwali, Kali Id” against the sealing drive in Delhi and lot of other issues, the festive mood of Delhites is still alive which clearly denotes that nothing can take away the charm of Diwali.
(And I am wondering the purpose of this post!!)
Anyways,
HAPPY DIWALI!!!!

Life
Pardon me for posting this. I dont claim to be a poet and these are just random words which i am pouring here.
Sitting in a corner
memories passing by
reminding me of
what I got what I not
what I found what I lost
what I dreamt what I dread
what I love what I hate
People say this is life
experiencing all.
And I wonder, is it?
