Let me begin by wishing you all a happy and safe diwali. May this
year bring all of you great success.
This post is regarding recollecting memories of our
#GharWaliDiwali and so I will.. I can recount that during diwali’s, my father
used to be given huge gifts from his office – as he was a civil engineer, he
gave contracts to many people who returned the favor by giving him huge gifts –
most of which his principals didn’t let him receive but he was fine with gifts
like sweets and dry fruits.
One of my special memories is therefore the whole room being filled
with sweets and dry fruits – and my brothers along with me used to have a gala
of a time being spent on eating these sweets and dry fruits.
Next, I remember being fond of decorating. I used to prepare
decorating items by myself – nothing was purchased from the market, everything
was prepared by items easily available at home – say for instance, diyas could
very easily be prepared from scratch – decorated with colour and full of diwali
messages and auspicious greetings.
We had a bungalow and we used to decorate it with great colours of
lights and I had grown this tree called “raat ki rani, din ka raja” which gave
beautiful smell and on the diwali nights when the whole family sat in the lawn,
this beautiful smell made the festival even more enjoyable and worth
remembering.
I’ve always liked the tradition in diwali of exchanging gifts and celebrating
with family; diwali is all about being celebrated with your loved ones – be it
playing rummy (tradition of diwali), preparing great meals for everyone to have
on this special day or just the fact that the whole family unites for this
festival – the whole idea of a family diwali is so special.
On diwali, we – the whole family used to go out on a movie, eat
cholla bhatura and ice-cream to end the day, it was without doubt the best time
of the year because after coming home, the party continued for several days to come
and that is what makes diwali so much more special, the memories that you
collect through the years stay with you for many many years to come.
On this diwali, relive those moments with the family, cherish the
childhood days of awesomeness and relive the #GharWaliDiwali with your family.
Diwali is not only about lights but it’s also about filling other people’s life
with a glorious beacon of light – which is filled with happiness and good
thinking for each other. Diwali is about wishing each other the happiness that
one looks for and the best of the success that one can have – diwali, a
festival we all cherish for it’s pureness.
