Diwali !!! the festival of lights !!!
This is part 2 of my last post “Learnings from diwali”
I would suggest you to read my previous post before going through this, as they are interlinked with each other.
The lightings of multicoloured lamps suggest that, though we have different mentality of people in our family, together we gel well and diversity is the key to uniqueness..
The rangolis, drawn by lady members suggest that they are the key to the future, just as the visitor is happy before entering the home, seeing a rangoli. ART is their main FORTE and they can do it better than any one on this earth.
Firecrackers are burnt, they give away lights, while some give a deafening sound, other go high up in air to make a fantabulous scene. This shows that even if we have differences we should burn them apart and then see the further magic. It surely has a better light ahead.
Sharing the Firecrackers from elders is a unique sign, which shows that, elders are always ready to give away what they have and what they can for betterment of the future, the younger generation. And so, it rests upon us, how to take and use it to the best.
Meeting the business associates and taking the blessings of the older generation is like a thanks giving and making base for better progression of what we have at present. Sharing the JOY is like MULTIPLYING it many fold.
We (yes, including me) have been very myopic regarding the celebration of diwali and just kept in mind the celebration we had for the day or two. But the deep rooted motive should be passed on further. So just try and understand it to pass it on to the future.
Wish you all a very Happy Diwali..

Learnings From DIWALI!!!
Diwali !!! the festival of lights !!!
Yes, Diwali is the festival of lights and crackers !!
As a child and adolescent, I had always looked forward to Diwali, my favourite festival.
Not only firecrackers were the attraction, but also number of other things.
The lightings of multicoloured lamps and the lightening of firecrackers made it look like the most beautiful occasion on the earth.
The small candles and the beautiful rangoli’s drawn by sisters and bhabhis were an added attraction. They always gave a calm and soothing look, welcoming the visitors at home as well as at shop.
My Mother, the best cook in her own class, made wonderful sweets and the chatpatas, which I think was the main attraction of the Diwali.
My Father, always bought us the firecrackers which were equvi-distributed among we three siblings. He always accompanied us in the burning of crackers and keeping us safe. Though today he accompanies me in business and share his experiences and tricks of trade, those days were equally better as that of today.
As the only male child, I was out of crackers, sometimes even before Diwali and get that advantage of getting the crackers of my sisters to celebrate the main day of Diwali.
The worst thing that I hated was cleaning of my cupboard. That meant a gigantic task, which I thought should be done only once every decade:-)!! Still... no options on that, and had to do that.
On the occasion of Diwali and New year, now we follow the tradition of visiting the business associates, family members and friends (and their parents). And for some whom we cant meet, we have the facility of SMS’s and Super fast mails..
Also we distribute sweets and bonus to the workers on this holy occasion. As similar to all of you.
OOPS !!! with the flow of thought I forgot the main thing… the LEARNINGS from Diwali, but I feel good with it, lets keep the learning part from tomorrow. See you tomorrow on the same blog.
Till then wish you all a Happy Diwali.
