So it is time to celebrate Diwali, the biggest north Indian
Hindu festival. Except the mythological essence of the festival, it has
significant importance in our life. Reunion of friends, families, shopping,
decoration, cleaning, hopes, wishes, and love within families are few examples
of such significant matters that are associated to the common man.
On this day, hundreds of small lamps will illuminate every
street in every city. Hundreds of traditional oil lamps and hundreds of
electric bulbs will enlighten every house in the street. No street, house, and
place will remain dark today. Apart from decorating houses with lamps, every
house will certainly have a Rangoli drawn with different colors and decorated
with twinkling lamps.
This day, most of us, will visit the market from one end to
another and wish Diwali’s best wishes to everyone either known or unknown. We
will visit our friends who did not get time to meet us after last Diwali. It
will be the perfect time to visit their houses and have some sweets (I love
sweets) which are served as part of the traditions.
With our families, we will worship goddess Lakshmi, and god
Ganesh. We will ask goddess to visit our house and shower money on us. Lakshmi
visits every house this day, decides which house is decorated best, and stays
in such a beautiful house for eternity. Chanting and praying will stop after an
hour, after that we will be free to demonstrate the power of bombs we bought
last night.
All the kids will first start with the loudest bomb, then as
soon as louder bombs finish we move to bombs and crackers that last little
longer. Ladies burst more trivial crackers. Though there is noise from
different directions, but everyone seems to like the noise and pollution on
Diwali.
I love everything about Diwali. Whether it is cleaning and
dusting, or it is decoration, or it is meeting with friends, or it is
worshipping, or it is cracking the crackers everything is charming, and
cheerful. Though I have not brought any crackers yet, but I will get them soon.
Hope you all will enjoy your Diwali as much.
Wish you, and your family a great, and prosperous Diwali!!!!!!!
