Diwali

This Diwali felt truly different. There were no gatherings, no visits to friends’ homes—most people had traveled back to their native places. Yet, amidst this, I found a deep sense of peace. Lighting the diyas and watching the fireworks from my balcony brought a calm that words can hardly capture. Despite the loud bursts of crackers outside, I felt a serene silence within. That precious “me time” during the festive break was nothing short of amazing. I once again rediscovered the joy of my own company and honestly it was magical.
