It is bit late to wish for Happy Diwali and New year but still better than not to wish. Diwali has just passed and people are almost now out of this festive mood. In Gujarat it is celebrated for almost a week i.e. From Dhan Teras to Labh Panchami. Most of the people utilise this long festival vacation for Some out station trips. In Gujarat, it is also new year and hence people wish for Happy and Prosperous New Year too. I had the opportunity to go to my native at Jaipur and then to Kota before returning to Ahmedabad after 6 days vacation. Jaipur has always been an intimate location which provide us a chance to be with parents and many other close relatives. It also gives me a golden opportunity to visit my Nani ( Mother's Mother). The trip also game me a chance to visit Khatu Shyamji and My village Sidhara.
This time this trip had one more feather of visiting Kota. I had a very pleasant stay with my in-laws where the hospitality was of highest standard. The love and affection showered by them was tremendous. Sometimes I feel, do we really deserve this kind of affection and respect. This level of hospitality flattens and gives strength to move forward with utmost humbleness. Some people are big and respectable not by richness but by the quality of behaviour, listening and utmost humbleness.
Diwali festival brings in lot of gifts for every one. Children get new clothes, sweets and chance to fire crackers, elders get chance to get together, this festival brings some thing good for every body in different form. In addition to sweets, clothes and lot of other material gifts, it brings some wonderful invisible gifts like:
i. An opportunity to meet the nears and dears which bonds the relationship further;ii. Blessings of the elders;
iii. A chance to understand people, their activities and way of living life;
iv. Knowing people and building up relationships.
These are very valuable gifts in the life which can not be earned without these festivals. I once again wish to all of you a very happy, prosperous and purposeful new year.
