Diwali 2007

Diwali, Festival of lights. It was not the way it used to be before as I was in school/college. I did not know this is because of the age that yearns of extravaganza everyday or because of the relatives who gather for this beautiful day. However, I had re-gained all of those enthusiasistic diwali back for this year. There might be many reasons like no rain so crack the crackers, more people accompanied for the celebration or whatever it might be.

This year Chennai and Bangalore had celebrated Diwali a day in advance than the other cities. I do not have a reason for that. It is a thursday the big day, gained the spirit of waking up pretty early at 4 AM. It is a tradionally recommended one should get out of bed and ready before dawn. It is like when sunlight reaches you, it could feel the freshness in you. Oil mixed with hot fried ginger applied to the head nourishes your roots and increases your Purity and knowledge(satva).

Well, all set before 6:30 AM and there we go, crackers all around the place and street full of papers which were spitted out from the crackers. It is all the sounds of extravaganza. However, the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board has banned production of crackers with noise levels of over 125 decibels, so it is very much friendly to the ears but not for the sensitive ones though.

Day had passed with crackers and television. Best part is yet to come. Once it is evenfall and daylight fades of, people start to firing the missiles that could eventually bring peace and serenity. I mean the fireworks, that can light up the dark with its spectacular display of the light and colour. This would be a apectacular site to watch. kids to Olds caould enjoy. This brings the joy and helps in binding relationship.
