DIWALI dhamaka !

It's DIWALI day. The festival of lights.

"May this DIWALI bring loads of Joy in you." - as though previous Diwali did not bring any joy!!

"May this Diwali lighten your heart with sweet thoughts blah blah" - As though last Diwali was a disastrous strife ! !

But, these are formalities. Right? Yes. Every Diwali, we wish each other Happines, Loads of Joy and Fortune. If not done, society might have a different view about us.

But, Diwali has always been a special occassion for the Indians. They never celebrate this Im-promptu. They plan for it well in advance. This is the day, (though meant for Enjoyment and relaxation) we get a bit extra tired, the reason being, a mouth gum ache - wishing everyone, A HAPPY and JOYOUS DIWALI, though, he/she is an unhappy person by birth!

This day has always got a different agenda on the board right from the morning, rather than an usual orthodox agenda. We wake up early (if not, we'll be taken to task!)even if not interested in celebrations, take bath (This has to be done, atleast today!), wear an attractive attire, visit a temple, burst crackers and stuff. But, as we keep growing by age, this dhamaka seems to attenuate. We feel slothful to rise up in the morning and celebrate.

The advancement of technology, in one way, has got a hand in spoiling the real sense of celebaration. We forward the Diwali wishes to a list of 40 people in our Cell phone memory and to a huge list in ORKUT and Yahoo, without actually knowing whom we wished. Because, this makes the job simpler (but not effective!). But, finally, DIWALI is still Diwali. The name has got something special in it. This day is always a speical day for all INDIANS, howmuch ever India has advanced.

HAPPY DIWALI TO ALL MY BLOGGER FRIENDS (Don mind, if i don wish each one of you in person!)
