Its diwali tomorrow. All around the country people are decorating their houses, balconies and rooms with diyas. If you can picture a balcony lit with diyas, as you walk by a house, you'd know how beautiful it looks.
Whenever i see a balcony lit up like this, i imagine the children of the house dressed up putting the diyas in place; smiles that would shame any light ever lit. Its the joy these lights bring... is what diwali is all about, to me.
I am in the village today. I went out to buy a phone recharge card after dinner. It is a little misty and chilly. As i was walking out of the hall i saw a lot of batchmates, juniors and seniors do the last bits of the decorations for tomorrow's illumination. I felt separated from it all. Like a third person, an observer, someone not a part of the scene.
I wish i was somewhere else today. Its the festival of lights and the diyas haven't brought my share of happiness yet.

oh love, really? come on now, be happy for a flame burning somewhere, even if you aren't close enough to warm yourself by it...
smile a little. if only for the flame.
