Diwali a festival of Lights ...
From the time of purchasing gifts of the old times from those poor labors to the times of Machine made diyas we have seen it all.
Not just the making of diyas but the developing families , the improved concepts , new technology , advance ideology.
From a time of Meeting people personally to wishing them through the way of mobiles we have seen it all.
Where older parents were respected and heard , quarrels were less and adjustments were more .
Compromises happened and self respect with dignity was maintained irrespective t the sexes to a time where rape is just a tool and scolding a women for wrong is just curtailing her freedom .
We have seen the big United families living with 6 kids and love that was never stopping to nuclear families with no habbit of respect and sharing .
Road traffic was less and people enjoyed with the success of others when a car was purchased until today where car is purchased to belittle other as a sign of status symbol.
A time where family timings had a bond and ease of working was there to a time where fights are caused by wife and property .
From a time where habits were a pride and house a necessity to a time where status is a pride over simplicity .
We have seen a time of struggle where people were befooled easily for their own needs to a time where people are well versed and still temples are preferred over human rights .
Where the cost of car is more than the person .
Where the poor are misused for own benefits .
Let's halt this Dhanteras ... And think before Diwali where are we heading and what small steps can we take to bring a change ...
Let's together light our Minds with clarity of thoughts instead of Machine made candles .
Let's contribute to the society so that we can be a part of the change .
Let's give and help the needy and snub the rich .
Let's choose a government that's honest or over through the ones in power to form our own government dedicated to the people for the benefits of the people .
Let's be the change by stepping out for our future generations yet again.
Kyunki yeh Dil Se , Dil ki , Dil Wali Diwali hai...
Is Diwali , Dil se Diya jalega aag se nahi
