Earlier, Diwali was celebrated with the feeling that lord Rama killed Ravana and its the time when he returned to Ayodhaya after completing the exile of 14 years. But now people don't think so deep these days. Now-a-days, Diwali kicks the festive mood up with the onset of festive season.
Diwali actually brings a family really close. Few days before the festival, whole family comes together to clean the house. Doing pooja of lakshmi ji, Ganesh ji and god and goddesses promotes the feeling of purity and sacredness. Also, having and visiting various relatives is so amazing. Receiving so many cadbury celebrations, kaju ki barfi, Pepsi packs, kurkure and chips giftpacks, such basic and simple things can light up anyone's mood right?
Moreover, for kids buying crackers (phuljhadis, anaar, skyshots etc) is so exciting. I remember, 3-4 days before Diwali, I used to go to the market with my Dad to buy crackers. In India, not only kids even adults have the craze of enlightening their house with different LEDs and you know what, sitting in the balcony and watching everyone's house sparkling and shining with different colours in night and a bit of cold weather is so damn amazing.
In India, even schools organise 'Best decorated Class Competitions' This competition not only make kids and teachers happy but also it creates a very good atmosphere where everyone in class start doing something creative and decorative for this Diwali competition.
People who dont live together due to different reasons, come close because of this festival.
During this festival you can generally see mixing of different cultures. It takes away the norms of society's racism. It promotes unity and brotherhood in people of a nation.
In the end, I would like to wish you all a very happy Diwali. Have a safe, eco-friendly and prosperous Diwali :)
