Diwali for everybody means spending the time with family members with loads of sweets, lights and crackers. The real essence of it lies in the fact that it brings together the family, increases the bonds of love and affection. Here far away from home, the thought of celebrating Diwali all alone subdued our spirirts to a great extent. Little did we know that this Diwali is going to change the very concept we had of it. Lighting lamps without your siblings around ,Diwali without the delicacies made by our mother and bursting crackers alone was what we were looking forward to. But the day had something else in store for many of us. Not only was it the most unique of all the celebrations but also the most delighting and satisfying one. The innocuous faces of the little children and their unbeatable spirits really affected everyone of us. Visiting the Sangaria village was an awesome experience. First we gathered all the young ones in the village temple. Then we conducted the rangoli competition, while making rangoli the shouts of “ Happy Diwali” echoed everywhere .When we distributed sweets and clothes among the children their faces lit up like Diwali sparks. All forgot themselves in the festive fervour. Later at dusk, the temple lit up with the brightness of the lamps. Though none wanted to leave the celebration but we finally left carrying the smiling faces of all the children in our heart.
