I love this time of the year. The festive season has just begun. Everyone is in such great spirits, people seem to leave their worries behind and make a genuine effort to be warm to each other, to be happy, to absorb the brightness around them.
Diwali in particular is one festival that stands for conquering the darkness within and without with everything bright and beautiful. The gentle fire is truly symbolic of spreading warmth in your life.
For me, this time of the year is really special. There is always something life altering that is waiting to happen for me post navratras. This year was no exception. In fact, I think it was this year, that I did not just see the proverbial cloud with the silver lining after a really dark night and bla bla bla...there was a pretty good explosion of light that left me well and truly awake :) This year, it seemed as if the powers that be took it upon themselves to not just show me the path but literally drag me out of a hopelessly misleading mirage to a road with very clear directions to move on to "what are in reality greener pastures" :)
Preachy? So what, i refuse to be apologetic! ;)
So, anyway, the festive season has so far succeeded in doing what its meant to do at least for me!
Its woken me up from my drunken stupor, its filled me with hope and determination,. its brought warmth, cheer, and clarity into my life.
I hope its done the same for you. Wish u a very happy and prosperous festive season.
PS: You know beginner's luck favored me thoroughly this year. I learned flash for the first time from my "juari" cousins and ended up winning all the stakes :P I was taking hopeless chances and all of them paid off. When I lost, I could fall back on the reserve I had, when there wasn't any, money was arranged for me.
So may be, that is what you should do in life too. Take risks, not always calculative, and sometimes just hopeless chances. If they don't pay off, you will still manage. You will come up with an alternative...trust yourself, trust God :)
