अगर मेरी बात मानी जाए तो सब जगह, बाज़ार हो या घर, रौशनी ही रौशनी होनी चाहिए.....और वह भी कम से कम एक हफ्ते पहले से ही।
या तो लोग बहुत कंजूस हो गए हैं, या फिर वह आपने रोज्मर्रह के कामों मैं बहुत ही व्यस्त हो गए हैं। पिछले कुछ सालों से मैं यह देखता आ रहा हूँ की लोग अब सिर्फ़ दो या तीन दिन पहले ही रौशनी से घर को सजाते हैं और दीपावली के अगले ही दिन उन्हें उतार देते हैं। मुझे यह ठीक नहीं लगता।
दीपावली के दिन तो सब लोग ज्यादातर समय आपने आपने घरों मैं ही बिताते हैं। रौशनी से साजे हुए मोहल्ले को देखने का आनंद तो अन्य दिनों मैं अधिक होगा। अगर सब ही एक हफ्ते के लिए रौशनी करें, तो बहुत अछा होगा।
आप सबको दीपावली की हार्दिक शुभ्काम्नैयें।
A couple of people have requested me for a translation:
Basically I am just complaining and being grumpy about the fact that people don't decorate their houses with the lights for more than a couple of days..... I love colorful lights everywhere and on Diwali that combination of lights looks so alluring. But unfortunately I really can't go out so much on Diwali.....So I request everyone to put the light decoration on at least for a week....
Happy Diwali...
I am also adding a pic!!

Diwali is like the best best festival with all the best food, lights, clothes, colours, meeting people, crackers, etc etc etc..

Hey Akshay, heard about Diwali for the first time from Keshi's blog. I know it has to do with loads of lights but I want to know other things like what the celebration is all about, does it last for a single day or is it a weekly/monthly celebration????
**.... I kindda get this unique pleasure when I see beautiful lights everywhere....
awww me too...I get totally mesmerised by shimmering lil lamps! :)
Keshi.
Translate please?
:D
Tairebabs : Hey...It's to celebrate the homecoming for King Ram (an incarnation of Vishnu) to his Kingdom Ayodhaya after a 14-year exile in the forest and his victory over the evil demon-king Ravan.
Diwali is celebrated on the new moon day. It's pretty much the Christmas of India.... so people start celebration before the actual Festival Day. The day before Diwali is called Choti Diwali (Small Diwali). But the firecrackers can be heard and seen days before and after. Two days after Diwali Bhaiya-Dooj is celebrated which is another festival (for brother and sister).

Keshi!! In addition to that I am also a pyromaniac...
Macadamia The Nut: arrey bhai...translation to hai already..... waat u say ma'am....
I had also put up Diwali pics. see that on my blog. I love candles and lights too.
ur seriously a pyromaniac? hv u been diagnosed with it? :)
Keshi.
Do you think it might be perhaps because traditions have started meaning less and less to people and Diwali is nothing but another holiday, another reason to get together with friends and crib about work rather than celebrating the idea behind it?
Kiran Sawhney: I couldn't agree more..
Keshi : I just know that I am one....lol
quarterpastseven : yes.... that is one of the main reasons.... damn
Diwali was fun time.
