Deepavali, also known as Diwali, is going to be celebrated across the country tomorrow. The day itself would be different for me this time. Contrary to previous years, I would stay put in Bangalore itself, instead of going to Mysore at Tutu pipi’s place. This is also the first time in my life that a loved one has sent me an assortment of goodies for Diwali, all the way from Kolkata, as a token of love for me.
For me, the Festival of Lights has special connotations this time around, and its realization is slightly different from the previous years. The lights around always signify the enlightening of life with the rays of peace, prosperity and happiness. It also signifies radiance of the soul with the light of knowledge and wisdom. The light of the diyas is supposed to obliterate darkness from within ourselves. However, this time, it would also signify the light that would brighten up my life after Kuhu steps into it in just above two weeks time.
Married life is a two-edged sword. It has its share of bliss as well as its share of misunderstandings and adjustments. The light of knowledge, realization and patience is always a boon under such a situation and, to me, this Diwali signifies the advent of that light. I really wish that the light of tomorrow would symbolize the brightness that both of us would bring to each other’s lives hereafter.
