Celebrations are necessary
Celebrations are important in life because that is what keeps us alive. As I wrote in my last post, that was the reason, we decided to celebrate this Diwali like as before, so that our daughter learns these values of life - no matter what happens, keep doing your duty and enjoy every moment that life has given us.
So with the mood set, she finally agreed to do some shopping (earlier she was not interested at all) and we did buy some nice clothing from our favorite place. She also invited one of his friend for dinner and we happily encouraged her - if you do good then good comes back to you and the same happened with us. Our son along with few of his friends were invited by one of his friend's family in Kerala and he enjoyed the evening with lots of crackers and some delicious food. Usually Diwali is not celebrated in that part of India, and only people from North side celebrate it more, but look at God's arrangement. The boy did not feel our absence, which made us more happy.
As the evening arrived, the temple premises were lit with lot of Diyas - a tradition that is being observed from years. And there were a lot of colorful rangolis done by our residents. So let me present you some beautiful art works done by some of our residents spending hours - that is what makes these celebrations special.
One of our senior resident is staying alone and her two daughters are staying outside. She too put nice Rangolis and decoration at home and called me to take some photographs and share with her so that she can share these special moments with her daughters.
Taking photographs of our events has been like an official role that people love to see me play over these years. I was happy to capture some precious moments and give it to her so that she could share with her daughters. Happiness is contagious - the more you share, then more it becomes.
And then finally the moment came to go to our common area to burst the crackers. Our daughter got ready and could not stay at home and went to meet her friends. We went with the crackers, but before going to the common area, we first took the blessings of the Lord, light up few Phooljhadi (sparkler) in front of the Lord - a practice that we have been doing for years. We believe Lord is everywhere and he too enjoys crackers..More to come....
