Happy Diwali to and your family members.
Just thought of writing a small post to mark this occasion. Diwali as we all know is popularly known as festival of lights. People of Ayodhya first celebrated it on return of their king Ram after defeating Raavan. There are many aspects of Diwali, like, having sweets, lighting up diyas, triumph of good over evil, new clothes, and family and freinds. Yes, that's is the aspect because of which i thought of writing this post.- Family and Friends.
Diwali gives us more than one reason to come together and celebrate. We exchange greetings, sweets, wishes, burn crackers together, nowdays SMS friends (even with those with whom we had a talk last Diwali). Socialization is not a new trend, it dates long back. It's just that avenues like Facebook have given us a more constructive and larger scope. Today you "like" your friend's pic, few years back we did the same but only when we met them. You exchange comments on Facebook, share info.....all this we did even earlier on festivals like Diwali, thanks to Facebook now we can do it sitting at one place. But still, socializing on Diwali by meeting people in person, exchanging sweets, comments, saying" i LIKE your dress", "the sweets made by your mom are awesome", etc. has a charm of its own.
So go out there and "Like" somebody.
Wish you all a Very Happy Diwali.
