Celebration

Is when your friends surprise you after a hectic day of festivities, giving you the best moment of the day.

Is when you make that rangoli without any chemical-laden colour. It's your first attempt at the turmeric-kumkum pattern and a neighbour gets tempted to decorate her doorstep too.

Is when a neighbour who never spoke to you offers you some mango leaves for the doorstep decor.

Is when in the middle of boring glitz at your neighbourhood mall, you get floored by Rajasthani folk dancers with their energetic beats. And do not want to leave the mall.

Is when a kid walks into your home with diwali delicacies. Is when your maide attempts at dishes get their share of praise.

Is when after the festival, you can lie down on your bed and close your eyes with a smile...those sweet moments flooding your thoughts!
