There is, however, a very important aspect about this intensely auspicious time of the year that we cannot deny. The religious symbolism associated with these days and how high they rank as a time of private, inward celebration as well is not something to be forgotten. I remember how my grandmother would take on cleaning marathons days before the “Diwali week” and we’d all have to do our bit to meet her standards. As we grow older and form our own new belief systems, old values tend to stir up memories at times like this when traditions stand tall. And especially this year, I expect a lot of us will be looking back with love and longing over these evenings we spent in the company of family and friends. Such warmth should always be held close. I look forward to this festive season when the noise around is expected to be turned down, so we can tune in to the sound of our souls. Happy year-end celebrations to all of you too!
