Things to do this Diwali

-
Diwali is the festival of lights diligently celebrated in all parts of India. It signifies the victory of light over Darkness, Knowledge over Ignorance and Good over Evil.

Light signifies all the positivity existing that empowers one self...so we use lights as a materialistic object to let go the darkness in the corners of our home and lives.

I'll describe some other major things that we Indians do to prep for Diwali :

1. Cleaning Home

First and foremost step is getting rid of all the negative stuffs one by one, this comes up with tidying up the living space, we tend to clear most of the areas, the "DIRTY DOZENS"i.e. hard to reach areas where we don't do the cleaning on regular basis and are hard to see or observe. This could be cleaning of cobwebs, AC grills, and also can be a whitewash or painting the walls.



2. Dhanteras

This is marked as the first day of celebrating Diwali, and Lord Dhanvantri is worshiped on this very auspicious day who is also considered the Lord of Health and Ayurveda. Also we decorate the main entrance with earthen lanterns or Diyas and Rangoli made out of colors or flowers to Welcome the Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity - Lakshmi.

The Indian Market tends to boom having a maximum ratio of sales and profit during this time as this is considered to be one of auspicious time of the year where one can invest their wealth- making new purchases such as buying gold or silver,and various utensils.

In rural India, cattle are worshiped by farmers as they form their main source of income.

Try buying or gifting some Gold jewelry or Ornaments to your mother or self.



3. Make an Eco friendly Rangoli

We basically make rangoli as this not only pleases the eye but also has a calming effect and positive energy to the surrounding, it also adds some sorta harmony to the decor.

Initiate using colorful flowers 🌺🌸🏵️ and motifs or candles instead of harmful chemical colors which may also stain your flooring.



4. THE DIWALI GIFTS

Gifts can be anything. There seem to be no boundaries of gifting others this Diwali, this may vary from your homemade sweets, to small sculptures of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Laxmi that we worship on this occasion, also we offers some dry fruits or various other things depending person to person and obviously your budget. 😜
5. Lighting Diyas

Light enormous amount of Diyas and get rod of all the darkness and negativity.

I hope you like this post, would love to write more on various other contents. So.. stay tuned.. 😘

Being the same person

 In a long term relationship, you have to go through alot of funerals of what some people used to be.. they get exhausted of being the same any longer,they change..people change..they dont feel same, they are what you cant recognise what they used to be.. People grew out of what they never wanted growing into.. we want them to get back to whom we really used to know, speedily want them to recover back to..from where they have lost their sparkles.. Sadly, we cant hold onto them or held someone accountable for their change, but what we can do is to love them unconditionally and never leave and accompany them to their newest versions,and support them in their long run..  Change is a beautiful thing,sometimes its just hard to accept..butmay be.. that is what your partner needs the most..Embrace it.. Love you.. XOXO

Contemplating Life

Lately, I have been working 13-14 hours shift, running between hotel and home, I have never felt this monotonous before. Although, I am very thankful to God for keeping my family healthy and my love by my side, I strive to make a better place for them, and wierdly this zone me out, of how much is enough? to actually achieve something, for my people to live a better yet peaceful life.  Being a woman who is the soul responsible person of this family, makes me feel so much not worth it on what I am today.. the privilege of being daddy's girl has left long time back, even eating a spoonful of food I realise how much my actions really matters.  A lot of things to do and the time is acting like an enemy. No wonder.. life is actually short to do things you've actually planned for your parents.  Shivam has always supported me the best way he can and I love him for that, but when can I be the same to him, if the struggle goes on.. I forsee a small happy family of mine and Shivam, ...

Yes, people are meaner than what they were when you were hear, but we are trying to go with the flow. I have not a single day grieved about you properly, only you know, what m going through ...
