Still the cracker being fired, still there are lights on the balconies and still the diyas twinkling at all doorsteps. So I can still wish you all a very happy diwali.
The biggest gift I got this diwali that today my daughter Shinjini admitted that she missed me this diwali. She also remembered how fun we made last time when we fired the sparklars and other crackers at Delhi. She told me to come soon to take her home. I was completly taken aback at her first time realisation of her 3.5 year old life, that she misses me. Thanks to god and my wife for giving me the most beautiful daughter. Only thing that pains is my parents didn't see how their son became a proud father. I know they are very happy today wherever they are, seeing me as a father how I realised the simple truth how parents sacrifices their own happiness to see the smiling faces of their children. Now I can understand what pains they had taken to made me comfortable amidst unfavourable conditions.
