There is a Light that never goes out.

As my social and ritual life has moved on from its yesteryear ceremonial glory to earthly professional normalcy, and as grand festivities continue to awkwardly make themselves felt by their absence, it was a usual, adequately well-spent day lit up by two simple oil lamps quietly adorning the doorway. That flickering light is all one needs, to see, to travel miles into the unknown, and to come back home.

May the Light bless you and me with the strength to seek it!

दिवाळीच्या हार्दिक शुभेच्छा!

Divali

Divali, this year, has been more low key than ever. It's been just another day passing by. But the night is as strange as always. This silence after the incessantly noisy festivities haunts me, like it does every year. Though, this year, I don't have the colourful flickering lights to keep me company. They used to be very comforting. This year, I have another ghost to haunt me more than ever. What does this upcoming future have in store. Nevertheless, days go by faster than one imagines and we shall soon meet.

Lots of love and blessings for my all my wonderful friends, family and mum. Peace for dad.

Until soon!
