A walk a mile
filled the heart
with smiles
this is the only time
the city shines
brighter than
a million sparkling stars
in the deep blue night
the glint from
a thousand diyas
devours the darkness
the happy lanterns
reflect exuberance
a myriad emotions
adorn a myriad faces
but best of all
was the joy
that made
the flower-seller’s girl dance
upon receiving
a box of sweets
and toys
never touched
nor seen before.
What have you done?
Whom have you given?
This Diwali,
eradicate the dark out of someone’s life,
fill it with the sparkles of light,
wipe away the mundane melancholy,
gift someone the joys of Diwali.

Happy Diwali, dear reader.
May you have a prosperous year ahead!

Yeah when I was growing up we didn’t celebrate Halloween, but now as I am getting older I love to dress up for halloween and just have fun. I’m trying to decide what I am going to dress up as. Find some friends and dress up and go trick or treating. Some of the local churches in my area do what’s called Trunk or Treat. It’s a lot of fun. It’s mostly for the kids, but it’s so much fun. People dress up the trunks of their cars or trucks for Halloween and the kids can have candy and stuff. It’s fun for the whole family. If you have any churches in your area maybe try to find out if they do anything like that. That would be fun to be apart of.
