In Shopping malls. In restaurants. In mail forwards. On the Internet. In Innumerable websites. In photo blogs. I have seen countless number of times, these diyas. These ensembles. But never I thought that it will be real fun until someone special does this, all in front of you. Couldn’t understand the enthusiasm while waiting hours when she picked up roadside stuff for making this. Couldn’t get the point of bargaining with a local flower vendor for 200 rupees purchase. Couldn’t admit that I was real bored looking at her trying to make something out of this. But finally on Diwali, when I saw this, I was blown away.
This was the Diwali for me, for this was the Diya.
