Diwali - happiness

Diwali is nearing. Could feel the heat of Diwali celebrations everywhere. Crackers bursting all the time. Roads being blocked due to traffic created by people purchasing for diwali. Sweets in abundance at home. The smell of heated ghee & sugar, indicating the ongoing process of Diwali sweets preparation.
Its really heart warming to see everyone being merriful.
Yesterday, i had to wait nearly for an hour at the bus stop waiting for my bus (such long time coz of the traffic). While i was waiting, i watched a couple of vehicles slowing down near the bus stop, which i found out was bcoz of the cracker shop nearby the bus stand. The shop was quite busy. Children who came with their parents to the shop were looking happy, staring at the variety of guns with wide eyes, amused. It was a nice thing to observe many people becoming happy at the very sight of the shop. This made me realise how festivals like Diwali, Pongal, Christmas, Ramzan, etc., makes many people live their life with joy & expectations. Small things which we do together with our family & friends on a festival day becomes a sweet memory to be remembered forever. So, please do not avoid these moments and enjoy to the fullest possible.
