Never Again Forget To Celebrate!

How we forget to celebrate!

We have too many things on our plate.

We allow things to happen as it's 'fate'.


Ever wondered about our fatal state?

We have no time to wait or enjoy with mate.

We are too busy/bored to even go on a date!

Diwali With Family

Diwali is an important festival of India, our nation.
Diwali is called the "Festival of Lights"as there's illumination.

 

During celebrations it is sad to be away from one's family.
Festivals are for get-together & to enjoy together happily!

Wishing over phone or through emails or SMS is not as much fun...
Everyone dreams of real meetings & being a part of the celebration.

A Diwali Meeting is much better than an SMS Greeting-
One is real & face-to-face; while the other is in digital space! :)

Feel Free To Celebrate

The rains had just stopped & I stepped out in style.
The street welcomed; a starry sky stretched for a mile!
