Now, what is Diwali?
Diwali is the ‘festival of lights. It’s when everybody cleans their house, distributes sweets, show off their new cl6othes, light their diyas and burst crackers. This unique festival means something different for every person, but mainly it means the victory of good over evil. That doesn’t mean that it hasn’t changed in some ways over the years. Let’s see five ways of how its changed.
We used to go house-to-house and personally wished everyone a happy Diwali. But nowadays, WhatsApp is the one delivering the wishes. We just search up a GIF or pic and send them or better, we put it on our status, that way we don’t have to wish anybody lol. How lazy we have become!!
We used to go to EVERY clothing shop and tire out the salesman for sarees, lehengas etc. Bargaining so hard, so we could at least get a 10% discount. But now, we just order our dresses online sitting at home, where we can’t even bargain!!
Earlier, our moms and grandmothers sang the bhajans during the aarti. But now, YouTube sings it for us. It sounds better tho haha.
Earlier we made all the sweets at home. The house was filled with the aroma of ghee during Diwali. But now, Swiggy or Zomato delivers readymade sweets to our doorsteps. Some people just say, “I’m on a diet Ya” and avoid the tradition all together. No problem, more for me anyways.
Earlier, the noise of crackers was heard outside our window till atleast 2.00 am. But now, people have realized that bursting crackers are actually *kinda* harmful to the environment. So, they’ve either stopped bursting them or they have switched to green ones.
No matter how many changes occur, the festive feeling in our hearts never dies. So, let’s celebrate Diwali with much fervour and zeal.
HAPPY DIWALI✨🎆🎇🧨
Happy diwali!
