The title of the article says it all; the festival of prosperity and good health is here. Yes, I am talking about the festival of lights – “Diwali”. The celebration of this beautiful festival lasts for at least 4-5 days. Diwali is celebrated by the Hindu community but is also very famous all over the world. During this particular festival, houses are lit up with lights and oil lamps. This festival has got its religious roots from one of the great Hindu epics ‘Ramayana’ which describes the return of legend Lord Rama to his kingdom Ayodhya after completing 14 years of exile on this day. People burst firecrackers during this festival, which I think is extremely harmful to our environment. There is something more to do than just bursting crackers and lighting up the house with oil lamps and lights. Here is the list to get started for Diwali.
-
Cleaning the house
– Before Diwali start cleaning your house. Get rid of all the unwanted stuff and decorate your house. And Diwali can’t be celebrated without decorating the house. Over the period of years, I have heard my elders say that “on the occasion of Diwali, Goddess Laxmi visits every household bringing luck and prosperity for the family”. Therefore to welcome the Goddess one should clean their house and keep it neat and tidy. For decorating, the house one can use oil lamps, flowers, and lightings.
-
Making Rangolis
– Making rangolis at the doorstep has been a tradition that almost all of us follow. Just like oil lamps and lights, rangoli making is also an essential part of this festival. There are so many people that I know are experts in rangoli making. They make the best designs with such ease and finesse. And it takes a lot of creativity and skills to make pretty rangoli designs.
-
Indulge in sweet making
– I am sure you cannot imagine of celebrating Diwali without sweets, can you? Diwali is that time of the year when you get a guilt free pass to indulge in as many sweets as you want without worrying about weight gain (hit the gym afterwards!) Ladoos, Halwa, Ras Malai, Barfis; there is so much variety out there and you cannot just resist yourself from having them all. Preparing these lip-smacking sweets is easy and good to go obviously with guidance from the internet or the old recipe book.
-
Buy loads of gifts
– Besides Diwali being a religious festival, it has also become a chance for a quick get together with your family and friends who don’t get much time otherwise. And when you go and meet your loved ones, you obviously wouldn’t want to go empty handed, right? So buying gifts and surprising them would great.
-
Shop for clothes
– Once you are done buying gifts for your family and friends, it’s time you pamper yourself. Since it’s a festive time, buying new clothes is an amazing option. Shop for ethnic attires instead of the regular western clothes that we wear. The trend right now for girls is – sarees, lehengas, dresses and for guys – kurta pajamas and sherwanis.
-
Visiting temples
– Don’t forget to visit a temple on this auspicious day. We cannot neglect the true essence of Diwali which good over bad. Lord Rama defeated the evil demon Ravana and returned to Ayodhya. To celebrate this victory and seek blessings people visit temples on this day.
-
Spread love and happiness
– We celebrate all our festivals with an enthusiasm to spread love and happiness amongst our families and the society. Diwali is also one such opportunity to get spread happiness and positivity. So, this Diwali let’s celebrate it the eco-friendly way. Instead of spending thousands of rupees on crackers, rather buy sweets, gifts, and new clothes or donate certain amount of money to the orphanage so that even they can celebrate Diwali happily.
“Say no to crackers”, have safe Diwali this year. Let’s take care of the environment while celebrating this amazing festival of lights; spread love, peace, harmony and happiness.
Ahh, a life is too less for this trust me. I always thought what happen to all those toppers every year who makes a new record, the board toppers, the toppers from all the prestigious and so called top institutes, the dreams of crores which only one or two can achieve literally. But still, after a particular convocation day or result date, no one seriously remembers them. I mean let’s be honest. How many of us seriously remember the names of 2016 toppers. Until and unless, they are your relatives, friends or known ones. But the irony is still there is one king khan, one Sachin tendulkar, one Amitabh Bachan, one Steve Jobs and yes I am not against education, so one Abdul kalam and so on. We have numerous big shots. So basically education is important, hard work, Tallent but no this 1 st POSITION.
So yeah right if you flung then you will not get anything right so you need to study but then is there any guarantee that if you top then you can become like Mark Zuckerberg or Brad Pitt. I always wonder why everything turns out so ugly and in vain when it connects with reality. See as we grow up we are always taught about honesty, rules, raising your voice, standing against the odds, do the right thing and blah blah. But as that time we are like too young to understand the stuff, and in all these congrats we grew up into adults I mean its just a one day gap alright let me explain today you are in school tomorrow your school is over and due 
See this is not against anything or anyone it’s in general. Solely my opinion, but a firm one whats the use of all the adjectives that were taught to Us. When you enters into adulthood its like welcome to the hell I mean either leave these teachings behind far behind and if you fail to do so then no one can help you, if you be honest, and sweet and helpful and all the shift you will be considered as immature, dumb, 
The reality is the fakest and useless word I have ever experienced. Lol, everything seems so perfect until you don’t experience it in real. Every yellow thing is gold from a distance but its probably shift when you go near. I believe it’s all hollow, meaningless why we cannot learn to be hypocrites, diplomatic, the social birds since 
All I can say at last is that life is a turbulent ride, you are not allowed to puke. If you sincerely believe in the power of your dreams, in the hopes of those who loves you, if you know your worth, if you are courageous enough if you don’t care that diamonds breaks in the process of becoming more precious. If you can burn in fire, drown in the ocean, then still feel like attaining the unattainable. Then keep moving. Lock your heart, your emotions in a box and throw it somwhere, no I am not asking you to follow the world this is just for to cut down the distractions until you turn your weak emotions into your strength, until you turn worst into best, until you don’t yourself to break at any edge. Everyone in the world worships the power, when you will turn powerful this all will become an epic the success story of a hero, trust me. The World is like that so leave it forever and work to embrace your life, your dreams, make it happen for the ones who go against all the rules to support you. Make your own splendid world and people will Start following your rules.

Shekhar was emotional, Gauri was materialistic. He liked to hang around with friends, she was a party animal. Shekhar believed in transparency, while for Gauri knowing his dirty little secrets was only a way to get even with him every time she lost her cool, which was quite often. She knew each and every friend, a colleague of his by name while he didn’t even know where she worked before she came to
Six months passed by between phone calls, emails, video chats and daily updates. Zoya was finally able to find her perfect man in Farhan. She trusted him, relied on him and cared about. She thought she loved but was still confused because as per her logic, they were involved in virtual romance, she still needed to meet him in person.
Tomorrow was her birthday and she was super excited. Lost in her own thoughts, she moved from one outlet to another doing birthday shopping. She loved to gift herself, after all, she was her most favorite person. She entered Starmark and started looking at different designs of a fountain pen. There it was, a perfect silver colored Franklin Covey resting on a stand, she stretched her hand to pick it and instead her fingers touched someone else’s. Both of them held the pen at the same time, startled she looked up to see who it was. She lost the earth beneath her feet, her knees went weak as she looked into those hazel green eyes. He looked at her and apologized, “I am really sorry, you take it, I was only trying to take a look.” She didn’t say anything, feeling relieved that he didn’t recognize her, she turned away and walked towards the exit, “Excuse me, are you from City College?” Zoya felt all numb when she realized that Shekhar had recognized her. She wanted to leave, go away, vanish from his sight but helplessly she turned back and said, “Yes.”
Yes, it happens a lot and with everyone I’m sure. You must have selected the best outfit for the prom night and to impress your date but the biggest rival of yours turns in wearing the same dress. Yes, that simply can give you mini attack as your all efforts will go in vain, that snobbish girl and you will be the matches. Have you ever been planning a night out on the beach side but your

Yes, remember that school project you did all the work but just because you have a partner who is self-obsessed, he took all the credit…that big mouth. This happens a lot when at work, your presentation but credit is taken by your senior. You must have felt like hitting him hard in the face but you need your job badly so you can satisfy yourself just by imaginations. Okay for the ladies who are married, you must have given hours to prepare your husband’s favorite dish. But your mother-in-law takes away all the credit just by serving the food and bragging about how tired she is. Yes, blood boils right haha! Ghar ki Kahani.
Too bad, you are dying for her looks and she doesn’t even care to know if you are alive or dead. Those love songs torcher you because it reminds you of her, you have turned into a complete stalker for her. You know what time she leaves from home who all her friends are. You are a regular follower on Facebook. I know you got a high time nostalgia by reading this, everyone has a crush. Some are lucky to turn them into their better halves, others turn someone else’s crush into their better halves. Luck matters buddy…staring won’t help you need to get back the action.
