Reminds me of the song Pal Pal hai bhari form Swadesh. Why do we celebrate these festivals??? It does not to have the same value... Seems to be just another holiday no one thinks about them. Some just do the rituals and others don't that is the only difference. Those days are gone when the every festival stood for a trait that was to be learned, a virtue to be added in once life. Now it is just something to show... But show what? That we are Hindus? Does lighting a few diyas or chanting few lines of sholaks actually makes us Hindu? Or just a good enf reason to buy new clothes? chillax at home?
I wonder does virtue actually has any value in life? If not why not? There is a trend in Hinduism in India that I am seeing these days... There no information, only misinformation. Too many (wrong)things are being done in the name of religion. I use to think that it is a problem faced more by other religion(recently) but now it seems to be fast spreading again in Hinduism.
But none the less I will enjoy my diwali to the fullest and hope u all do the same. Will continue on this thought later.

Happy Diwali :)
hahahaha I wish I had been on your blog on Diwali day. I was being a sour-puss too.
I wonder the nature of festivals will ever change ? Will there be more recent historical events which will enter the list of holidays. The only point I see in 'celebrating' festivals is that it would force me to break routine. That I think is good for me.
The more ancient things we try to celebrate, will not our understanding of why we celebrate it be more clouded ? I guess its a good occasion for parents to stress on kids the good morals according to their moral taste.
