Deepawali and Me

14 baras ke vanvas ke uprant jab Shri Ram Ayodhya pahunche tab Ayodhya Nagari ne unka swagat depon ki avliyon se kiya. Us prakash ne har burai har tamsik bhawan ke andhere ko mano samapt kar diya.
You've been everywhere, you've met them all, you've over 100 numbers stored in your cell, and today when all that a stranger craves for is a returning smile from the unknown crowd - you sit alone in the eerie tranquil of your room, punctuated by the rain drops lashing heavily on the balcony door. A concious choice? May be not, may be its the equilibrium which needs to set in at some point of time. You have been a Ravan in more ways than one, you've been a Ram too(some would say), probably its time to celebrate a Deepawali well within you, to cleanse what has been gnawing at your conciuos slowly but steadily. Do you need the touch of her hand or the feel of his hug for that? Do you need to see those stary eyes staring deep into you clueless and frightened, or the stretch of the hand which has been asking you since time immemorial - "Till when Kanu, till when?" Yes you need them, as someone quite unknowingly touched the finest of your secrets not long ago at CT, the subconcious knocked again and said - You Need Them. Its not being weak, its not being shallow, its about being human.
It was you who has had those lofty ideas all this while, you can't let a bunch of 'achievers' walk over them, you can't let red bricks dictate the path of your life. Agreed its Deja Vu, so what, this is not the first of its kind. Relax and recline for the earth smells like heaven and droplets feel like nectar, its your Deepawali..........love it.
