In a country like India, there are different cultures throughout the nation and the occasions that each of them bring are innumerous, having said that very few of them are capable of bringing the whole nation together as one. One of those few is “Diwali – The festival of lights“.
Diwali is celebrated with full of joy and happiness all over the country with children bursting firecrackers and adults overseeing them. Everyone wishing good fortune to each other, puja’s being carried for pleasing Goddess Laxshmi (Goddess Laxshmi is the goddess of money – so you see there is still a tiny bit of selfishness here too ^^), eating sweets, etc.
This is my first Diwali at my new house and my new company. It’s feels very different to not have the familiar setting around me which I have had throughout my life while celebrating Diwali. The friends with whom I have enjoyed since childhood, the nooks and corners around my neighborhood where we used to go and sit, set up firecrackers and watch others having fun at the same time.
But change is eminent, we cannot live without change since it defines how we progress in life. Without change nothing can progress. Even time changes every second as we speak, read, look and think to progress ahead. This is exactly why Diwali is celebrated, to tell us that change is eminent but there’s always light even in darkness. Every time change occurs, we should see the beauty and it’s use.
The sparkling lights above keep hope alive in more than a million hearts, with dreams been made and created. Dreams which hope to some day sparkle like the stars above which people still look after the crackers douse off. The small cups of oil and fire together called as Diya’s show us that if we want, we can put up light even in the darkest parts.
Thus, I wish all of you guys a very happy Diwali and a Prosperous New year. May light be shown to you in your darkest paths and luck shine to give way to dreams alive.
