The festival of lights

a day we all look forward to the whole year...

its here..

Happy Diwali…

i read this article .. and was so moved..

realised that the value of the rupee is reducing... mainly in the eyes of insatiable selves like me..

those people look so happy.. their happiness glowing in all its trueness and sincerity.. makes me realise that its not always the expense that defines the celebration.. its the spirit...

and deep inside.. i know.. i was always aware of that.. jus realised that the awareness had gone way deep... burried under all the layers of materialistic junk i have accumulated over the years of gainful employment...

Well said.
But counter-view (mine :)) says that people have made Diwali more wasteful than ever, in fact i was planning to write an article on how wasteful we have made our big festivals like Holi (for water and wood) and Diwali (for natural resources and environment).
On other side for Diwali, I feel that let poor get their bread and butter out of money from richer, but then it would serve the purpose pretty well even if we donated just 10-15% of what we spent on wasteful things like crackers, rockets etc.

What do you think Paras?

Sorry, I meant "spend" when I said "spent" in the previous post.
