Today, a simple moment illuminated the true spirit of Diwali. With just a small bundle of crackers the expectation was a quick simple celebration. But as each cracker was lit in solitude the thrill faded quickly and the bursts of light felt strangely empty without someone beside to share them.
Nearby, a family gathered with laughter and excitement young and old lighting up the night together. Their joy was heart warming to witness showing Diwali is not just about the lights and sounds, it is about the people sharing in them. Even the simplest celebrations feel endless and fulfilling when surrounded by loved ones.
Memories returned to simpler days when Diwali meant visiting a friend’s home. His welcoming parents, without hesitation shared their crackers freely treating me like family. Together friends emptied big boxes of fireworks in no time, ending the evening with a warm meal around the table. Those moments of shared laughter stays fresh even after years.
Now far from home, this year’s Diwali feels a bit quieter, a little more faraway. Whether it is age or simply the miles, this celebration shows that festivals hold their magic in togetherness and that shared joy is what truly keeps the light alive.
Yes the people and love are greater things to celebrate. Or which makes celebration worthwhile. That is why a huge lot of people travel to be with their friends and family for festivals.
