Deepavali aka Diwali aka The festival of lights!!!!

Hi ya folks, happy deepavali to all of ya........ :D

Deepavali used to be the most awaited festival of our childhood days, at least true in my case!! But the enthu has totally fizzled out the older i got.. Now diwali has become nothing but, 2 to 3 days off from office life, go home, have nice feast, eat lots of sweets, sleep well and fatten yourself up..

Part of this is because of all these rules banning high decibel crackers, due to the noise pollution it causes.. Who the hell is going to burst some bijili crackers huh.. The only good thing about Diwali nowadays is the night time view of the sparkling rockets, decorating the whole night sky...


Gone are the days, when even though u step on a live stone cracker and have a nice burn on your foot, you still burst crackers by sitting on a chair, rather than taking rest..

Gone are the days, when we used to prepare manja for kite thread..

Gone are the days, when we used to run around the streets waiting for kites flying all around to fall down..

Gone are the days, when we used to have kite fights, the whole building gathering in the terrace, shouting if someone tries to cut the thread hanging over their terraces when a serious kite fight is going on..

Gone are the days, when being in a room full of crackers an idiot throws a live sparkler into the room making the whole box of crackers go on for the next 10 mins with me still being inside.. Swearing that idiot for the next 10 mins even though i could not hear what i was speaking, hearing some trumpet blowing for the whole time..

Gone are the days, when during our rocket fights with other buildings, by mistake we burned up the the dry leaf shelter which they had put on the terrace of a school building and running down so that no one blames us :P..

It was all good when i was in the middle of all these things.. But now the same thing which i enjoyed during my childhood days, annoys me, making me swear whenever i hear a loud bang outside :(..

Hoping for a wet and damp diwali, without any noise and happy sleeping :P.. Just kidding...

I know there are still those who enjoy doing all these.. So atleast for that reason, i will plug my ears and let them enjoy their share of diwali ;)..

Have a crackling diwali...

A Jobless Idiot who is gonna go deaf for the next 3 days :P..

PS: Ya, i forgot, our company gave a humongous sweet box as diwali gift, which helped satisfy a poor little boy's hunger.. Thanks a ton :D
