Love, the light!

It's not just about blushing

when you see red roses,

It's not just about reading
romantic poetry and proses.

It's not just about stretching

your arms wide open, in the rain.

It's not at all about faking

smiles when you are in pain.

Because it's all the same to me.

Whether the time is dawn or dusk,

Whether my eyes are open or shut,

It's all the same to me.

Love is the touch of warm hands

on my cheeks, wiping away my tears.

Love is a bunch of faithful words

driving away my fears.

Love is the light in which I see

the blooming of flowers.

Love is the sky,

for my rainbow colours.

Love is a power that makes me see,

It makes me more than what I can be.

Love doesn't have a different name,

For me, love and light are both the same.

The festival of lights, and hopes....!!

              As I hear the bangs and booms of crackers around me, I feel happy and irritated at the same time... (which I'd thought was never possible).      It's Diwali...!!
             The very name sounds hope and newness..... enlightenment...!! I wonder if I really know what the festival actually means... Light, hope, cheer, joy, celebration, faith, love, belief, optimism, knowledge, wisdom, simplicity, happiness...... We light our houses and hearts with the illuminating love.... A festival to let go of all the year's grief, sorrow and hopelessness ....  It is the time we forget and forgive.... Start ourselves anew, afresh.... Bring ourselves and others, new hopes, and new inspirations.
            We wear smiles all through, share them and spread them. We look forward to new things, new people, renewing our relationships with the old ones.... We forget all our jealousies, misunderstandings, cold wars and hard feelings about our so-called relatives and friends and give them an all new hug of happiness....
" I still believe in you....!! I still believe in us...!!".
     The warm and loving hug that reflects our love, humanity and true selves. A hug that reflects our faith in future. We hold hands and enjoy the togetherness, oneness and affection.
      "Whatever we are, we are one!!"
      Lets celebrate.....
      Lets join hands for the new togetherness, new hopes and new future....!!
      Wish you all a happy, and cheerful festival full of hopes.....
       HAPPY DIWALI........
