Melancholy

Its not that I don't have sweet memories of Diwali from my childhood. Nor is it that I have lesser knowledge/adherence to Indian tradition(s). On the contrary, it is only because of my irrevocable adherence that I couldn't connect to the people around me who celebrate(d) Diwali.

Now, I don't celebrate Diwali anymore, nor do I think I would in the near future. When you can't relate to the people that celebrated Diwali, you don't really celebrate your Diwali with them; niether do they know nor would they possibly understand what Diwali means to you- is there any point, then, in just saying you do enjoy their celebrations while you don't?

I won't.

Happy Diwali? why not? to you!

If Mohammed cant come to the mountain, its high time we take mountain to Mohammed. Dude, its all in your mind. Remember, all emotions - adherence included- are self-inflicted. Go have a hot cup of coffee and have fun!

Wish you a very Happy Diwali.
