I buy plenty of dresses
But the excitement is missing
I make a lot of sweets
But my mother’s touch is missing
I see crackers on the television
But my father’s mischievous smile is missing
I don’t fight for my share any more
But my brother & sisters are missing
I want to hug Mothi when he shivers for every cracker sound
But his loving presence is missing
Where are those innocent days gone
I am searching and searching
Never to return to them
Still my only wish is………..
Let there be only light everywhere
Tamaso Maa Jyotirgamaya
Happy Diwali!

Dear Padmaja
It was really nice.I have similar feelings too.Diwali and my Birthday were something I was eagerly looking forward when I was young.It has lost its charm now.Those kind of happiness can now be seen in the eyes of my children.That is the only solace now.
