Festivities Galore !!

Hi...

Probably this time I will not keep this as a draft version and actually see that it comes out as a blog.

Festivities abound and ofcourse a nice time to talk about that thinking creature on Earth who does things that maketh news!!! Sadly, others cannot express their thoughts so clearly.. May be they will see better days!!!

Its DIWALI round the corner and all Indians here and elsewhere are celebrating... merry making and feasting almost shamelessly(hiding the flab around their stomachs in process and consoling that the diabetics is indeed in check). It is a nice time indeed!!

Its Dhanateras today and most of the employees in my office have left for home!! I will be leaving in a few hours aswell... There are last minute conf-calls to attend to... As they say.. better late then never... Today, I wll pray for all and especially my near and dear ones that they survive all odds in life and live as happily as they can for the many many decades to come.. May Goddess Laxmi shower Her might BLESSINGS on the betterment of all... May the ones who are needy get the basics... Those who dream get what they want... Those already on top help those in need...

BTW Gloomy streets have lightened up to demonstrate the ever omnipresent brilliant luminance that comes with the reflection of lighting in anything a small as a diya to a huge chandelier on the sets of Saawariya.

Sweets are being exchanged in copious amounts and doctors and slimming parlours are smiling at the very thought of aftermath. You hear "Badhai Ho!!" at every nook and corner of India or for that matter anywhere you are aware of this festivity.. Or for that matter even anywhere where any other festival is being celebrated in equal zest... Halloween for instance... The words "Badhai Ho!!" ofcourse gets translated to the very language intricate to each community.

Earthly Siblings !!

Ah!! A word I feel very closely associated in such times... Work pressures, deadlines, pressure to perform... yet there is light at the end of a hard work day... There is this fresh lease of life that on nomal days come just with the beginning of a new day.. A day with hope for things to get better. Festivals are however different... They radiate joy among all, irrespective of what is their current state of mind. For it brings an eternal hope that hardly fails to deliver... And it comes from GODs...

True words indeed... Festivals indeed bring us together.

There are 'n' reasons we have to celebrate each festivity that comes... AND I feel no matter their authenticity, they, are here to stay for good. Buzzing phone calls, thousands of free SMSs, a huge associated business, a lot of hope, a lot of blessings.. Everything packaged into a nice little package - called Diwali - (or as mentioned any-other-such)...

Makes us realise, that no matter what the past, we are all here to celerbrate out our existence... And that we should not let our days go by...

Festivals are here to remind us of the great deeds done by those gone by... They are here to remind that for those to come, we should be those who would be a reason of celebration for the generations to come... Coz just like those who have gone, those who exist have not only learnt from the history but built a huge foundation upon that to strengthen among all the very belief on which our survival exists...

Coz for those who are to come, we are the ones who will set an example...

Festivals as they say, are there to renew what you have lost in course of time... So... Its time you ROCK ON and MOVE AHEAD... The World aint Gonna waiT....

This year show the World why you been sent to this World.. I am sure.. its just not about existence... IS IT?? Now that is a big question you have to answer for yourself...

Cheers !!
And a very Happy Diwali to you ALL....
