Wishing all my lovely readers a very Happy, Joyous, Prosperous and Blissful Diwali. Diwali starts with thorough cleaning of each and every nook and corner of the house culminating in the festival of joy and lights.

May the coming year spread the cheer and love that we all yearn for deep within our hearts. Let us also understand a deeper meaning of cleansing and also make inner cleansing an important ritual of Diwali. Love you all and Thanks a ton for sticking with me through periods of silence when I do not get the time to connect with all of you.

I have expressed my Diwali wishes as a verse. Hope you all would like it. Loads of love and blessings.

Happy Diwali

It's the time of the year,
       when you clean before you celebrate;
each corner of the house sparkles,
        with festivity, our inner world vibrates.

The cleaning is incomplete,
      till you clear the cobwebs of the heart;
melt the bitterness and hurt that resides there,
      of valuing your happiness, master the art.

We focus on outward cleaning,
       brushing under the carpet, past hurt; 
that cleaning is something we all miss out on,
       although should be the first place to start.

Dust away the grudges,
       fill each corner with warm cheer;
treat the hurts that your heart still feels,
before the pain becomes too much to bear.

Kindle the spark that defined you,
       not so long ago;
'cause you are precious and unique,
       nurture yourself as you grow.

I wish you become every day,
       a better version of YOU;
all your prayers are answered,
       start your life with hopes anew.

May this Diwali light your heart,
        renew and refresh your soul;
fill you with the warmth of self-love,
         and brightens the path to your goals.

You were blessed with life,
       since you had a purpose unique;
spring clean your heart and you'll find it,
        discover and find all you seek. 

The significance of Deepawali is the removal of darkness anad ignorance from the mind and filing it with goodness.
