Diwali festivals always bring new and fresh excitement among people. It is being more than 20 years we have been staying in Thane and I remember all these years Diwali celebration. We just wait for this festival as it is time when we can channelize all our sources to decorate our home with lanterns and LED lights. Few years back we didn t had this LED lights for decorating, we used to make our own lanterns with paper and other easily available materials. We were young then and kids of our age were given a task by our parents to help them out by helping them in preparing sweets and cleaning house. We always look forward to get ourselves dress in new cloths which our parents used to bring us in every Diwali.

Waking up early in the morning was a big task for us during our school days but for Diwali celebration we would be the first to wake up and get ready. We were eager to put on our new cloths and start celebrating Diwali with lots of crackers. After two to three hours of this excitement, we kids used to go to temple. After our visit to the temple, it was time to visit our friend s house. The reason we loved this thing was that we used to get different types of sweets and snacks from their house. This was my fondest memory of Diwali Celebration in Thane from my childhood. Nowadays, Diwali Celebration has not that much fun as there is air and noise pollution. It is true that pollution has rise to such level that people are affected by this pollution every year. Now let us come to the reason as why Diwali festival is celebrated. It is celebrated to mark the victory of Good over Evil and Light over darkness. We should know that good always prevails over evil. I miss those years when my father used to select and bring his choice of cloths for me. I used to love and flaunt it everywhere. Now it s my turn to give all things back and it gives me lots of pressure as I m unsure whether my parents would love my selection. I also remember one special Diwali celebrations in Thane when one of my friend accidentally burned by new cloths. I was so angry that I came home running and I refused to speak to him for at least a week. It was only after my father altered the cloths I was happy and I didn t even realize that I had a fight with that guy.

The point is that if someone does the same now we don t have that value attached to the cloths. We just think about the money and I can say that slowly we are being more practical than emotional. Being practical even has its own advantage but it is not our culture to be practical. Anyways I wish each and every one of you a safe and happy Diwali 2012.
