Something out of the ordinary, beyond all
their Socio-religious association and
Significance, a festival is often a time when we
go out of our sundry daily existence for
something a little less ordinary.
For some, this celebration means rituals
observed and handed down over generations.
And for many, this involves trying new clothes,
eating special treats and generally being part of
the merriment of late, a festive season is
construed by many as an excuse to go out and
just have a fun time, or go for that dream
Vacation or do those little things that give us
pleasure and a welcome break from the chores
of our everyday lives.
No other season, Dassera says end of all evils
and commencing of positive dawn. Surely,
Diwali is India’s feasts which puts us into a
phase of delirium & excitement, the way the last
month of the calendar year does. The
celebration of Diwali is mythological but why
there is an increased popularity for this festive
period in even the most conservative parts of
India, I have often wondered.
The reasons are not far to seek. Mankind has
forever been taught to look forward, even while
learning from past. The New year of Deepavali
is the one definitive moment we get, each year,
to do just that. The promise of a new tomorrow
is always filled with hope and that, more than
anything else, symbolises the perpetual Spirit
of our race.
As we count down to yet another prosperous
new year and the promise that we believe the
morning after holds, this special Deepavali
issue, I hope, will add to this ‘out of the ordinary’
spirit in the air from an all – Thiya gallery of
