For whom am I sacrificing
all the love of my life?
will she be with me forever?
I know that the answer is "NO",
Still...
Deep in my heart
I long for her
With all her weakness,
I love her
but this world
won't understand my love.
even she won't understand
the depth of my love.
Like many,
who couldn't express their love.
my dreams will remain,
just as dreams.

Deepawali is here, Deepavali is here
That grand festival of Lights
That ends evil after a prolonged fight
When god with all its might
Leads us from darkness to Light. 
Deepavali is here, Deepavali is here
That great festival of sound
When crackers and laughter abound
When crackers and sparklers light up the sky
When delighted children jump with joy. 

Deepavali is here, Deepavali is here
That beautiful festival of snacks and sweets
Where everyone enjoys a royal feast
When old and young with delight meet
With love and affection all hearts beat. 

Diwali is here, Diwali is here
That genial festival which celebrates victory
The ancient festival of myth and mystery
That is mentioned in both mythology and history
The festival that signals Triumph over Tragedy. 

The clear blue sky,
The smell of flowers,
The colours of Rangoli,
And the sound of crackers. ......
