Lekha and I've started celebrating festivals the way the people in the north of India do. We've always had quite a few people with us on such occasions and we also make it a point to have Meena, Lekha's assistant and her family to join us then. It gives us tremendous satisfaction to see the kids in action with the Diwali crackers.
And this time, we'd my cousin and her folks along with a newly married couple celebrating their first Diwali. With so many people thrown in, the get together had to be boisterous. And so it was. There were the others in the neighbourhood celebrating it with equal vigour, resulting in a boisterous atmosphere.
The festival of lights underscores the rich tradition and culture of this great country. It's my fond hope that every Indian finds true happiness and a taste of brotherhood on such occasions. Poverty should be eradicated in toto so that each and every household is lit up by the glow of its own 'diyas'.
