Festival's: are they same as before?

 





"Festivals make you realize how lonely you are."


Nowadays, people often say, "Aajkal tyoharon mein pehle jaisi baat nahi bachi" (Festivals don't feel the same as before). And to a large extent, this is true. Festivals have become more of a symbolic gesture than a time for real joy and connection. I think back to ten years ago, when I was a kid, and we would celebrate wholeheartedly—there was so much happiness in the air. Today, that magic seems to be missing.


Back then, it was incredible how much joy we could find in just one day. Now, everyone seems caught up in their own world, with little regard for others. In a way, even ordinary days feel more fulfilling than festivals do now.


Who knows if the old days will ever come back.

A Journey to Myself

This summer vacation, as it was coming to an end, my heart felt heavy. I needed some time alone — something I couldn’t get at home because of the constant noise and activity. So, I packed two bags, told my parents that I was going on a trip with friends and would be back in 4-5 days. I knew they wouldn’t let me go alone because of my careless nature. I had no train reservation, no hotel booking, and no plan. Still, I left for Bhopal, bought a general ticket to Thiruvananthapuram, and managed to enter the sleeper coach by giving some money to the TTE.

But these five days became some of the best days of my life. People often say that you can’t travel alone. But I think you’re never really alone. The chaiwala bhaiya , the kind lady on the bus who explained the railway station, the naughty child who called me “uncle” — ...

Why there is so much suffering in life?

It terrifies me sometimes—   the ugliness that stains the world,   painted with shades of despair and evils untold ...... Whenever I pass through the corridors of cities,   the sprawling roads of sprawling metropolises,   a question troubles me deeply:   why is there so much suffering in the world?   Why is it that someone like me has every comfort,   while others cannot afford even two square meals a day?   When will the day come   when such inequality is erased from the face of the earth?

Diwali or Deewala?

  कोई सोच रहा है, धनतेरस पर कितना सोना ख़रीदना है. कोई सोच रहा है, ठंडा शुरू होने वाली है कहां सोना है। “This is something that snatches away a child’s childhood.” It deeply disappointed me whenever I witnessed the dejected faces of these innocent kids 😦 At this point, it is pertinent to note that festivals like Deepawali do not bring happiness to everyone in our society. Therefore, it is crucial not only to celebrate festivals but also to share happiness. This does not just mean donating to those in need but also includes purchasing locally-made products instead of going to lavish malls.                                                               Be the reason for someone’s smile 🫶🏻✨ #FirstBlogPost
