My Childhood Diwali

As I lit Diya (oil lamp) in door entrance my childhood Diwali days drift in my mind. What a lovely and busy days those were !!! We used start cleaning and decorating home many days before Diwali. Making Aipan (door steps) with liquid rice powder and red clay was my desired work in Diwali…

On the main diwali day making of Goddess Laxmi’s motif was one of the most fascinating work and my elder brother had expertise in making goddess face in guava and lemon fruits. In night we lilted diyas and candles together. Whole house echoed with mummy’s voice…

Now everything is available in market. Life is much more comfortable now. Goddess face is available in market. Every type of Aipan stickers are available in market but people become more busy in their own life…


Those days have gone and time has passed only memories remain. Suddenly sound of cracker bring me back into present and I starts lit the diya…
