Diwali which is also known as the "Festival of Lights"..which is supposed to spread the light of joy, happiness and wisdom...I just wonder..is it still does it all.....?
I remember when I was a kid, people around used to be so enthusiastic about it..even a month before..there was a spirit of festivity, a feel of overwhelming thrill and excitement which could be seen in any individual, may it be old or young. rich or poor..but now it has vanished..
Diwali has now become a sort of ritual to be performed, a song to be sung..like the national pledge which we used to take every morning in school without understanding the essence out of it..when we were kids..Oh God..!!
India is called the land of festivals, but do we really have the same fervor in us..alive?? ..which has made us get this title..I don't think so.. Where on one hand, inflation has hit every person in the country very hard..the increasing spirit of jealousy portrayed as competition in the people has killed the spirit of peace, harmony and brotherhood..Emotions have become artificial..humanity has died long back, every individual seems to be running in a race which has no finish line..and the feeling of satisfaction is breathing its last..
