Merry Diwali!! :)

It was my first Diwali when I was not at home. Kabhi-kabhi Naukri sach mein boht kharaab lagti hai. Specially at that time, when you can’t go to your home on some special occasions like Diwali. Friday tak saare hostel waale apne-apne ghar chale gaye the..after saying ‘Happy Diwali’ to me. I was thinking, how could they just say this two-words-phrase to me, when they knew that I’m almost gonna be the only person in the hostel for the next two days. It was nothing, but just Formality! No problems. It was looking to me as if a sad weekend is approaching me, and I am trying to run away from it. But I had no place to go. So, I had to fight, against that akelapan. For me, seriously not much effort is needed to turn myself into a happy mood from a sad mood, until or unless the thing is related to saying ‘Good Byes’ to dear ones. Touch Wood!!!

I thought I’ll make this Diwali an unforgettable for me! First, I turned myself in a happy state of mind. Fir looked for a broom in the hostel.. I wanted to do the 'Diwali Ki Safai' of my room.. :D

Luckily i got it, and then it took some one hour for me to clean my room. I removed each and single cobweb that had become part of my room. They were so many of them! I killed all the spiders responsible for making my room dirty. (Spider is the only being in this world, jiski hatya karne mein mujhe guilty feeling ni aati hai!) I tried to make my ganda sa materialistic room mera home in Hyderabad and changed the orientation of everything in it. Everything was at its place now. Although wo pehle bhi clean hi hota tha, but is baar I did this task after a long time. Feel alag si hi thi kuch uski.. :)

Uske baad I started thinking about the things which we used to bring at home, at Diwali. Prepared a list, then went to the market and bought the following things:

• Flowers. Bhavya asked me to bring them to decorate the room, which I still don’t know how to do.
• Gulab Jaamun. Boht din baad khaaye. They were tasty! Myanka asked me to bring some sweets. :)
• Candles because Diye ke saath mein oil and batti bhi laani padti hai..itna effort ni maara jaata.. :D
• Fruits. I bought 3 Guvavas, ekdum green! Wo bhi boht din baad khaaye. Feel aayi! :)
• Saunf, boht saare colours waali..! :)

I dint purchase these things ever till date. I had no idea about the cost of these things. So, there is a high possibility ki mujhe loota hoga shopkeepers ne. Koi chakkar nai! :)

Evening hote hote khayal aaya ki ghar ki saari lights Switch On karte hote the. So, it was my next task. I went to each and every corridor of both the floors of the hostel and did the work. And while doing this, I was becoming more and more exciting. It took some 15 minutes to do this work. Fir mujhe yaad aaya ki I forgot to bring a match-box from the market. Ahh! To get it, I had to go to the market which is almost one km away from the hostel. Argghh. Took a lift from two persons, who were going out, bought a match box, came back to hostel on my feet. It had already got dark by that time. I returned to room. And started thinking ki decoration kaise karte hain flowers se! Haha. Kuch samajh ni aaya. Aisa kaam kabhi nai kara tha pehle. Played ‘21 Guns’ by Green Day on the laptop. Candles light kari, and ek smiling sa face banaya. Wo mast lag raha tha. Flowers se Happy Diwali likh diya. Ho gaya decoration wala kaam khatam. :D :D

Fir pooja karni hoti hai, toh Manu ki baat yaad aayi. Internet pe Lakshmi Ji, Ganesh Ji and Mahaveer Swami ki photo dekhi, and 1-2 jo mantra aate hain, wo bol diye. Hahahaha.. Ho gayi Pooja!! :D :D

Saunf khaayi. Kuch logon se phone pe baat kari. Fir 1-2 crackers chalaye. Ho gayi Diwali. Then went for the dinner to a restaurant called ‘Punjaabi Rasoi’, which is at some 10 kms away from here.. Paneer khaya boht saara.. Awesome feel aa rai thi! :D :D

I was in the pursuit of happyness one day ago and I was feeling so happy at the end of the day. One can be happy if he wants. Bas thoda sa effort maarna hota hai. By the time I returned back to hostel, I was tired. After some time, I slept.

It was my 23^rd Diwali. And it was the most amazing of all of them. Hardly I can remember any of them. But this was one, which would never be forgotten. It was the 2^nd most happiest day, till date, here in Hyderabad. And it has taken entry into the list of the happiest occasions of my life. I’m so proud (not boasting) of myself! :D

Mere andar ka bacha fir se jaag gaya.. :)

Merry Diwali! :)

Thank You Bhavya. Thank You Manu. Thank You Myanka. :)
