Hey all, after many days back to my writing stuff. Writing
over Diwali is not that big but it’s close to everyone’s heart. Hope you had
your best on Diwali as mine was pretty good. OK, I am skipping the intro and
reason of celebrating this amazing festival as I have a really interesting
reason to skip it instead. So here we go. Check the images and keep guessing?
I met a very interesting person on this day, who have a very
good way to celebrate this festival and very apt way to say the festival of
lights for him. He is a Rickshaw puller by profession and enjoys this festival
to maxim. Away from his family, not on the first occasion, he celebrates by
decorating his complete rickshaw with candles covered everywhere on it just
like a newlywed bride. With utter glee he decorates it and enchants sweet
memories with his family, that’s his way of celebrating Diwali. I was really
moved by the spirit he beholds for this festival and what special he does on
this day.
Till that day Diwali was just a metaphor for me to remove
all badness and inculcate goodness but now I can say proudly that I have
witnessed it as well. Some really special memories are with me for this day as
my Grandfather celebrated his last and my only Diwali with him. I want to
convey my special thanks to him for who I am today.
On much philosophical note if I convey my message it would be
simply celebration of event called life. I always wonder what would be the idea
behind having too many festivals which I got it recently. We are too busy in our
lives that we stop celebrating life as it is. Instead of illuminating we
surround ourselves with dimness of unfilled desires. So don’t stop celebrating as
it is very rightly said by a very beautiful quote rephrased by a guy like me in
a different way:
“Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory
note; today is the only cash you have - so spend it wisely”
