This Diwali celebrate with some of the choicest recipes that we have picked and compiled as Diwali Sweets and Snacks Recipes.
Another year, another Diwali…
At times I feel as if time just flew by. You blink your eyes are you are in the next year. And the fact that this is our 2nd Diwali in our own house, is a little too difficult to believe.
But then that’s what it is. It is “TIME” who has never stopped for anyone and who will never stop for anyone.
It gives you that one chance to do what is right, to celebrate, to enjoy with your loved ones and to cherish that very moment. You loose it and you have lost it forever.
But we mortals have that strange arrogance that we have conquered it all and that we will decide what is to be done when. Poor souls, we don’t realize the fact that in doing that we lost out on the best time to do it.
The last Diwali wasn’t very lively for us because there was a lot of interior work going on at our house and it was a mess all around. So we just did not want to miss out this Diwali. And probably that is why we started out a little early this year.
We had the lightings, lanterns etc. ready by the last week itself. We cleaned everything up, did our shopping of Diyas, oils, wicks etc.
And probably because we started preparations a little too early, we are feeling as if the days are long and that time is moving at snail’s pace. Diwali is taking so long to come. Funny, isn’t it?
Since we are talking about Diyas, let me put across a request to all of you.
The next time you go out to buy Diyas and matkas for Diwali, prefer buying it from the roadside vendor instead of going to the Mall or, to a superstore to buy it.
Why?
Because, that way you will make somebody’s Diwali, a happier one.
It’s the sales of those Diyas and matkas that they make, which decides if they will be able to celebrate Diwali or, not. So let’s us be a reason for them to be happy this Diwali.
Do encourage your near and dear ones as well, to buy the Diyas from these vendors.
Wishing you all a very happy Diwali..
