A "Boom" sound woke me up from my evening sleep. I was wondering what's happening but it didnt took long to understand that Diwali(Deepawali) is round the corner, 4 days to be precise. So it has all started, the celebrations , the festival shopping, the sweets collection and the all usual favors of celebrating Festival of lights....
Festival of light has in one way or another gave way to festival of sound... Fireworks ,crackers took the major portion of the way of celebrations nowadays. Earlier it was sparkles in the dark night which marked the Diwali but now its sound of crackers that marks the beginning...
This would be my first Diwali in Delhi and I feel it is already loosing its charm from my point of view. I havent done any of the rituals(Shopping for sweets or fireworks) till now and I am not planning to do it this year as of now.. Dunno whether things will change in coming 2-3 days. I am not so sure coz as the day nears my mind may dwindle towards the idea of celebrating.
Last year back in Mumbai it was an hell of celebrations. Really enjoyed the way we did it last time. We cooked ,drank, bursted crackers but the thing that I enjoyed the most was watching the night sky twinkling with all colors of life from our roof top. It was calm peaceful and definitely was a superb treat to the eyes. The way flares split up and spread across the dark space above was worth watching. With the never emptying glasses and running from one corner to the other just to catch the glimpse of lights, I celebrated my Diwali last year... It was fun and I would remember that for years to come...
In fact of the three years I was in Mumbai, the last year was the best I cud ever have. Hoping this time the national capital has more to offer. May be I am far too speculative, that was what my brother told me as he suggested me to play the wait and watch game coz things are gonna turn like anything once Diwali comes around. Hope it surprises me...
