Lighted up

This is my first diwali away from home and i felt i am cursed to celebrate here in this deserted desert of rajasthan. Though others were planning for buying new dresses,crackers, sweets and rest of their plans didnt even get into my mind.But things are not actually what they appear to be. It was the eve before deepavali that changed my whole mood. There were lights lighted from mud houses to multi-storey buildings. For a moment i felt everything around me illuminated ( it was the light mela ).You can find only lights everywhere and it was for more than 5 km, that golden sparkle gives hope of prosperity,fragrance of flowers happiness, sweet and fast food stalls at every corner tempting you to eat. I just enjoyed the evening. Even if i am at my home i would ve probably ended up in sitting before the tv watching some celebrities giving interview or non sense of that kind.This time i could see how different people celebrate and share their happiness with others. On diwali it was even more new,i bursted crackers with people whom i have never met till that moment. It was a tamil family residing over there. I can never forget this diwali in my life.Life sometimes gives you things that you never asked for.
