Gratitude fills my heart when you read my blogs, like and comment about it…Do continue the hardwork and commitment you have to help each other….It motivates me immensely!
Let's now talk about today's blog ….. how Diwali(Deepavali) changed as the generations and technologies changed …. Our perceptions and idea of celebration has changed immensely ..our thought process, mindset and approach has changed…..
Diwali - the word itself is shortened like the thought!
Now I wonder how many crackers are actually bought!
Although am not really promoting bursting crackers
It was fun and stress releasing for us who were wrecks!
The joy it brought when we fought and cried with cousins
Made us forget whatever we had on each other, even the sins!
It really told how good fought the bad always
Now it is just a showoff of your wealth and your ways!
Good and bad has no quotient in it how so ever we look
The concept has been locked in some story or text book!
The feeling of being a child with innocence and kind smile
Is now just a insensible and insensitive brand style
If sweets, snacks and joy filled the homes earlier
Now it's Netflix, ranks and horror movies that's dearer!
If the entire household was filled with all relations!
Now it's just dad, mom, children and call connections!
Even the few who burst crackers aren't worried
How others struggle, how vehicles may get buried!
Even the noise wasn't scary before just brought smiles
But now can give superpower that you rush like butterflies!
As you care your life and run with all the energy you have
This makes me tell that grannies and grandpas are brave!
Who are able to sleep despite this noise and thunder
That new crackers bring which make you wonder
If your building is strong enough to withstand all these!
And how long should one wait till everything might cease
Few even consider the rain during Diwali a blessing
As it boldly means there's no more bursting
Wish people can celebrate without scaring others
Learn that if all petals are not there, the flower withers
Let celebrations bring happiness in the heart, not just face
Let Diwali be just fun, not show and race
About who is best, which mall should the rest be spent!
I know this may sound like I only know to vent!
But the truth is Diwali was just a lot more than it is!
Let me know what you think in the comments!
Thanks for reading!
