It is the festival of lights in India. Sitting abroad far away from the family, it is times like these which make you realize the distance between you and your loved ones that no amount of phone calls or Skype can overcome.
Even with a strong Indian diaspora there is never a feel of connect that you have to your homeland. The way festivals are conducted in India can never be matched anywhere else in the world. The tradition, pomp and the vigor with which the festivals are celebrated are a visual, sensory and emotional treat in itself.
Diwali is the king among Indian festivals to Hindus. We have a lot of festivals, but Diwali has a special place because it is a quintessential festival which has all the strings that tug an Indian heart, we have lights, we have crackers and we have food - a lip smacking, mouth watering quality of delicacies that you just have to indulge yourself in during this festival.
Diwali is also a community festival, where people celebrate it with each other and sometimes even strangers. Diwali is one festival which celebrates the triumph of good over evil. It is a festival of lights that which signifies the chasing away of darkness with the light of hope.
So come celebrate Diwali.. Wish you and your family a very happy prosperous and joyful Deepavali!!!
