There is something about this festival that makes me so very happy...
Diwali means going home at any cost
It also means lights, colors, flowers, lanterns and rangoli...
Diwali means a trip to main road in super crowded, brightly lit streets...
and it also means waking up very early to the sound of crackers!
It means early morning abhyang snaan and dad's tape of Gayatri Mantra...
Diwali means so many things... right since i was a kid...
Back then it also meant new clothes and showing them off...
It meant holidays and playing the whole day!
Diwali was about - whose rangoli is better and who has more interesting crackers...
It also meant going to everybody's house for 'faral'...
But never ever ever did it mean... rains!
It is Diwali night and it is pouring crazy... my Akash Kandil is all ruined and the weather outside is anything but festive...
There is of course no continuous deafening cracker noise either... just pitter patter rain drops
and there are no 'lights and more lights'...
This diwali has been unconventional in so many ways...
For one... the entire family is not at home... Miss you monster.
It simply doesnt feel like Diwali this year...
Well... Ek diwali aisi bhi :D
Hope the coming year is as unconventional (but good) as was this Diwali...
Enjoy and Happy Diwali :)
