Optimistic Diwali - 2013


A Very Happy Diwali To You & Your Beautiful Family May God Give You All That You Want & Need In Your Life Enjoy The Festival With Lots Of Light. Some might have done good/poor revenue in business this year. We all feel our celebration & happiness towards any festival is more connected with our income, we don’t know whether this concept is a myth or true but as per the spiritual belief ‘being happy what you are content with and try your best’.

 Albeit, an atom bomb and the famous Goddesses Lakshmi cracker’s massive hit of sound reached to our ear as a wake-up call of Diwali festivity. But our modern era people are not that much enthusiastic about Diwali. Since, nothing special except children’s happiness, sitting in front of an idiot box and watching celebrities show with slobber.

Well, When we look at our Children, their interest towards bursting crackers, wearing new wardrobes and cherishing Diwali sweets etc. are lost long within a few hours. Since, they want to move on back to SMS, Twitter and FacebookI surprised to know from my friend who’s son is playing crackers and buster game through his smart tab and not anything lively. My goodness, How technology transformed today’s generation mind-set? 

Besides, at present, sitting in front of a latest smart 3D monitor featuring touch with an android app, one can play a cracker game through gestures too. Is it a boon or bane?  Soundtrack someone’s voice without their concern may be a bane and re-collecting the sweetness of stored voice shall be a boon. Whatever these gadgets are keeping us engaged all the time and the Google calendar snooze of payment reminder awakening without fail.

During our bygone times, children and even elders used to dream Diwali dresses a month before it. But, these days many people are wearing new clothes as on when fashion trend changes and the buying habit also became very easy ‘It is not a big deal’ surf, chase and buy online. Jockytack pant is the latest trend among boys and BiBa & Diva salwar kamitz dominates girls this year. Remember we guys never know until our dad unpack what he has chosen for us in the eleventh hour of Diwali. These days parents are not involved or not allowed in child's preference.

Visit the disconnected relative’ home and re-establish the missed relationship through the Diwali sweets are all outdated on account of both the poles are thinking who will come forward first is the present stance. We started forgetting the great saying ‘Many hands make light work’

What if Diwali was quiet and elegant with diyas and sparklers minus the noise.. Do we  really need these loud crackers? How can be this a joyous festival if the celebrations cause so much distress? Heart weakened elders have to use earplugs and stay indoors. Domestic animals used to run helter-skelter. Why couldn’t this instead be a pleasurable festival for one and all?

Shall we take a pledge from this Diwali that we are not going to miss the culture, hereditary, manners and humanity. Long live the tradition of Hindu culture and as the generations have passed by Hindu culture is getting stronger and stronger let’s keep it up. On this auspicious day, shall we pray to Goddess Lakshmi to give us a proven attitude of “United we Stand, Divided we fall”

Best Wishes for Diwali.
