The grandeur of Diwali has gone as suddenly as it had arrived. As the most adorable festival bids adieu, fierce silence again dangles in the atmosphere and streets. The lights and decoration, hustle bustle on roads, noises of relatives, sparkles in the sky, euphoria in the houses all seen to be settling down. The clothes and jewellery have already made their grand appearances and have been tucked in cupboards for next big occasion. Festivities slowly recede into dim & distance and routine twirls up into motion.
As winter and darker nights approach, the way we are positioned in our planet with respect to Sun, certain things change from diwali. Traditionally, with colder days in northern hemisphere there comes slowdown and sluggishness and we become susceptible to negative forces. It is from these days our relationship with sun changes and it’s time to rejuvenate our habits in particular way during these days so that we don’t really hibernate and sink. Along with various mythological stories and myths around festival, scientifically Diwali prepares us for some more energetic things around us so that we don’t become part of slow down and ask us for some promises.
Let the light in our heart remains lit, let the spirit of celebration always continues in our work. However, strong be the negative forces we will not slow down on our roads and lose our sense of balance and purpose of life. Let us transcend our biological tendencies and assert our evolution. Let rangolies of our heart always fill with beautiful designs. Let the echoes of firecrackers reverberate our enthusiasm. Let butterflies of stomach flutter and glow our heart and face. Let the happiness and laughter mark its presence every morning. Let us attempt to meet our loved ones more often; I am sure we can.
I am Diwali, with all nostalgia wish you happy festive spirit all year around till I come back next year again.
Regards,
Your most decorated festival.
