Greetings
on Diwali (November 3, 2013), the festival of lights and harmony. Diwali is an
undeclared national festival of India and rightly so. Many of us celebrate
Diwali from a religious perspective but the society at large celebrates Diwali
as a matter of festivity and fun. I belong to the latter chunk of the society.
Life is increasingly becoming difficult and tension ridden. We must explore and
identify more avenues of joy and happiness. I subscribe to Diwali from this
point of view.
Generally,
we in the family don’t do many rituals. Nevertheless, we celebrated Diwali by
exchanging greetings with my brothers, sisters and some close relations and
friends and also with my colleagues at Jalandhar School of Careers &
Opportunities. We got together at Silver Residency Apartments, our residential
complex, and celebrated Diwali on November 2. It was great fun. We danced with
our partners and children. There was a well controlled fire-work followed by a
simple but good dinner. I feel that everybody enjoyed in good spirit of oneness
and fellowship.
May
Diwali bring us peace and harmony and we look for more and more such occasions
where we may find more opportunities to create and generate further happiness.
