Reading all the posts this morning ... it's nostalgia . These posts have the actual Diwali fervour than the one we are all celebrating at home , it looks like. I think our parents generation was the most unadulterated one where they gave it their all to celebrate any festival even with limited resources. They just simply did not know how else to celebrate these festivals other than the way they did.
Yes there's something about amma, paatis, oil, smell of elaichi and the aroma of the lehiyam and the goodies made in no of batches tirelessly during the week of Diwali that felt like it when you would come bk from school. Pure joy then that we took for granted. The yellow cloth manja pai's gave way to nalli's , pothy's and Mummy daddy's poly bags When paati used to apply Haldi kumkum to the new clothes on the morning of oil bath ,my brother Used to shriek heart in his mouth of the colour on his new shirt's collar in his teens But this is refined now with elders Applying haldi kumkum to just the tray in which new clothes are kept in front of God for pooja 😆 😆 . The smell of smoke , the black smoke coming from the snake tabs in the match boxes , the anxiety to see which house front on the street had the maximum litter from the fire crackers we burst , the 5000/ 10000 wala that l used to save up for the start and grand finale that I used to take the lead in bursting in the morning while my brother watched trying to scare me off while I tried to light it, at the time of the initial spark to the thiri ... Some moments just stay and we have our parents to thank for this.
Deepavali Nal vazhthukkal. Happy Diwali everyone.May this Diwali bring in lot of good cheer, health and prosoperity.
Good day and Good evening folks.
