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…
