Diwali - De javu

One more diwali gone.Like every other it's been happening this year too i wokeup at my usual 8AM with the regular background stuff going on :) Thanks to my mom,she always makes it a point to drive her point right through & make me feel guilty..Not that she does this intentionally it's just that she can't help being herself.So this diwali too it's the same old wishing friends,watching TV & yeah catchup with sleep in the noon which i did for about 3 hrs or so..Which made me think about the good old days during my childhood & the way i used to celebrate Diwali as a kid.So many changes or rather evolutions should i call them.Made me remember the innocent kid in me who used to go bonkers at the approaching festival & start the countdown with the other kids in the neighbourhood.Getting up early morning & getting dressed before everyone.The childish fights during the time to prove each other about the courage to burst the biggest mean cracker which was a 1000wala or a hydrogen bomb at that point of time :)I had a sudden strong sense of De javu about all the diwalis i had spent in Kumbakonam & just realised that those days will never come back again.

CHANGE - How true it is that nothing is permanent in life except CHANGE
