Festival of light!!!!

WISHING EVERYONE A JOYOUS AND SPARKLING DIWALI

Here comes the most awaited festival of the year..DIWALI...
Diwali has been a festival which is very special to me for many reasons....
new clothes, mouth watering sweets and guaranteed fun.
i still remember the school days when we used to have Diwali Holidays and all my friends used to gather in the building terrace to help the uncle's in making a giant Kandill (lantern) ..
the time seemed endless.. and finally seeing the completed elegant looking kandil standing tall above the ground..
on the day of Diwali we all used to get up before the surise wear the new clothes that we have been waiting to wear since a long time..
Bursting crackers was a fun... the flower pots, Zameen Chakkar, Laxmi Bomb, Sutli ..

Later in the afternoon distributing sweets to neighbours was another thing tat i thoroughly enjoyed... only because i got to eat a variety of sweets, Chakalli's and Ladoos...
then mom and i used to make huge Rangolis.. another thing i simply loved Seeing ...everyone will be busy right from the afternoon in making beautiful and huge rangolis in front of their houses....

then later in the evening the whole family used to be together to celebrate diwali i.e bursting crackers again...
then till late night we friends used to lie on the terrace and gaze at the sky watching beautiful rockets tat lightened up the sky ....


wow!!! what were those days... simply awesome..

slowly the thrill of crackers, new clothes, sweets rangoli started reducing and these days i hear people saying no to crackers as its harming health as well as the environment...
true to the sense of Diwali its a festival of Lights.. so sticking to the name these days i have diwali as a festival of lights ...
instead of crackers i have candles and diyas tat change the look of my home.. they make my home more divine.. the light tat the diyas give out is something i enjoy to watch these days....
but the rangolis still hold the same position .. the things tat has changed is tat then i used to watch my mom making them and now a days i help her in making them.....
dresses how can i forget, i got 3 this year :))

and then i used to enjoy the festival completely and now i have to compromise it with my Exams. :(
but still its fun in its own way ......

A Story....

A story which i heard a long time ago....
the narration below tells us that how we have started giving importance to the luxuries of life...when we all know that the most precious things in life are for FREE!!



While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked stone & scratched lines on the side of the car...
In anger, the man took the child's hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench.
At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father....
With painful eyes he asked 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'
Man was so hurt and speechless. He went back to car and kicked it a lot of times.
Devastated by his own actions...... sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches, child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.
The next day that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the later to have a beautiful & lovely life....

Things are to be used and people are to be loved,
But the problem in today's world is that,
People are used and things are loved.......

People being Props!!!

this is a thought that has been in my mind since a long long time.. never thought will have to put it up in form of words...
as in my earlier post i has written that - Things are to be used and people are to be loved,
But we people are used and things are loved.......
when we think on this issue, it holds so true... we don't care for the people who care for us rather we take them for granted and use them for our own benefits.once their job is done they are their own way...
i categorize people in two categories ... first are the one's who want to do something great in life and second are the ones who wont let these people do anything...
this leads to a conflicting behavior..
we do good for people whom we care,but when they do not realize it .. it Hurts...
this pain is more than anything else...

when we start expecting many things from people we start to categorize them.. and when they donot meet our expectation ;level we get hurt... tats when people start hating each other...

Relationships are most complex things to handle and humans are the most complicated species.
i believe each one of us is a specie in himself.. because every one of is special in one self... the time we start accepting this fact all will be great between people..

so this thoughthas got no conclusion.. just that start accepting people as they are ...love them for wht they did to u when u neede them.. donot judge them on basis of any one aspect....
Respect the fact "One world One Family"
