What is that one thing that you love about Diwali🪔? For me #DIWALI is synonymous to Art - art of rangoli, decorations, cooking, binging, meeting, calling, sharing and the art of cleaning 🤪. In my childhood, Diwali for me meant making bright rangolis right from Navratri... making garlands and torans with flowers and mango leaves... waking up early in the morning for the holy bath before sunrise... eating kachoris in breakfast... decorating the house with my Chacha and siblings and then wearing new shiny clothes and bursting crackers... I abhorred the noisy ones even then... ofcourse, we visited a lot of relatives and friends - ate a lot of food, chatted a lot and for me as kid - it was all about what I would get to eat, what new stuff😄!!! The next day of Diwali (Govardhan Pooja) - I looked forward to this day because of the gopalkala that we would get from the Tapasi Baba temple across the river. We would walk down to this temple every day for the entire month of Kartik with my mother (before sunrise) and get blessings. Walking across the bridge, entering the temple and offering prayers - the entire peaceful, no frills, simple routine is still so fresh in my mind - it almost sounds like a Hum Aapke Hain Kaun style movie. And now after growing up, it’s about so many things that I get tired at the end of the day 😄🤪! I want to be eleven again😂.
