The festival of Lights is once again round the corner.Its that time of the year once again when each one of us try to remove the darkness of a no moon night by brightening up our household with innumerable diyas,candles and bulbs.Can’t say if all these sources of light are powerful enough to remove the darkness around.But as I delve into my heart I find there is more darkness in it as compared to a no moon night………………………..
So many times have i disobeyed my parents and blamed them for all the mishappenings in my life.
So many times have I failed to acknowledge all the sacrifices that they have made to make my world better.
So many times have I quarrelled with my friends over trivial matters.
So many times have I not told them sorry waiting all the while for them to make the first move though i knew the fault was mine.
So many times have I shown disrespect to my teachers just because they had showered more praises over my contemporaries.
So many times have I felt jealous of my contemporaries for their achievements which i could have never ever been able to make.
So many times have I argued with strangers on the street without any reason.
So many times have I hated people just becoz I wanted to hate them.
So many times have I loved people who don’t deserve to be loved at all.
So many times have I shed tears over things which were not that important so as to make me cry.
So many times have I left people in distress just becoz i did not have enough time to lend out my helping hand to them.
So many times knowingly and unknowingly have I tried to fulfil my purposes at the cost of somebody else’s misery.
So many times have I criticised the system of my country,my state,my city without trying even a bit to improve it.
So many times have I accepted defeat without even wanting to win.
So many times have I given up without even trying once.
So many times have I failed to forgive people when they deserved to be pardoned.
….and so many times have I forgiven myself when I shouldn’t have been forgiven at all!
These and so many other things are a part of my darkness.So Iam still in search of that light which will remove all this darkness from my life forever.
Till then Deewalis will come and go,households will be lighted,crackers will be bursted but still somewhere a sense of incompleteness will be there.The no moon will become a new moon..may be even half moon..but still never a full moon.And my heart will sing……………
Dil ki tasalli ke liye jhoothi chamak,jhootha nikhaar
Jeevan to soona hi raha,sab samjhe aayee hai bahaar
So is every darkness removed on Deewali????Don’t know…..
HAPPY DEEWALI TO ALL OF YOU
Your list of so manys tell that you are as humane as one can be… Keep learning and we all should keep our conscience clear… Writing such self critical posts is one such methods. So congrats!

Happy Deepawali Dipika……bahut achchi aur sunder rachna kay liye …thanks.
Hai Deepika….
Very strong & true expression of mind. An interesting article… Thanks
i have to copy-paste this written words ,for myself only. just great
Shobar moner kotha je tumi bole dile go… aamar mone hoye shobaai eirokom e… taina… Kintu tomaye je eibhabe dekhte ektuo bhalo lagche na…Bishash raakho ek ek kore shob ondhokaar muche jabe… Now cheer up… hoeto jano Kali pujor dine oneke Lokhhi pujo kore…Alokhhi ke bidaaye kore Lokhhi ke swagoto janaye… tai na.. tahole ei shob Lokhhichara shobhab gulo ke bidaye diye… bhalo dike, lokhhir dike eigiye choli… cholo… eto bodo ekta lecture dilam… Aasha kori… ektu haashi phute uthbe tomaar mukhe… Emon hoye theko na… plss ektu haaso… bhalo lagbe… tomaaro are aamaro… Bhalo theko..
Tomaar chokhe porlo jakhan Deepawali”r aalo ………….Ki balbo laag chhilo takhan bhison bhison bhaalo ……….Tomaar chokher dristi jakhan sudoor paane prosaarito ………….Aanondo raage hriday tomaar sab kaalimaa door kore natun range udbhaasito.
So many times I tried to put a comment in your previous blog but I failed ,you block me . I don”t mind , yes it is I don,t mind , you belive me I never mind ………..WHY ? ………….That I know you love me , you are one of my best friend , and I am also love you and this love will become a DIYA and this Diya every moment will be glow in our mind .
Its a heart touching article. After reading your this article i just remembered few lines : “Baahar to ujala hai magar dil main andhera, samazon na isey raat yeh hai gamm ka savera”……. This happens to everybody in his or her life, but just keep in mind that every morning is a good morning and go ahead.
what a concept for wishing a diwali all the best you too from me and my whole family. really this is first time i am visiting your blog its nice. all the best……..
very honest and straight from the heart post…. definitely agree with you …the light that comes from within enlightens our mind and soul and suffuses our whole being with warmth …… happy diwali buddy..wish you all the luck and happiness in this world!
Now that definitely deserves a wow…
What a deep thought deepika, sometime i wonder, how can you simply manage to get ideas like these? simply out of the world…
Though it took a while for me to understand and feel and once i did that i could identify myself in most of the points…
Confessions are always great, Deepika. They help us in erasing the past tensions and we can start on a fresh slate. However, at one point I differ with you - forgivng yourself is never a mistake. On the other hand, being strict with yourself is as bad as being strict with others. The first principle of a deep meditation is to accept all your thoughts and feelings, good as well as bad …….may the glow of Diwali continue to illuminate your life with love, peace and joy ……wish you happy and fulfilling days ahead.
yes dear Deepika its a magnificient ……write with whole passion n love for life……………a gr8 work by a gr8 hearted lady………i liked it too much Deepika……….just keep it on this spirit………..do write n visit…….my heartiest thanx for lading my iland……..n showerng ur valuable encourageous words to comment my post………wish U all the best…………may God bless U dear frnd………n enlighten ur life on every paath…………….gud luk……………….urs ….frndly ………shekhar
Dat was a real sweet post….it needs lots of courage to accept ones mistakes but den watz life if der r no mistakes ….do all d wrong things at d right time :))
realising mistakes itself is the first step towards light.good post n happy diwali.
hey Deepi,stop worrying dear.we r all like u.while reading about u i felt that Iam reading about myself.once u develop a philosophical way of thinking u will never feel sad dear.there is a saying in sanskrit which my father always keeps telling,”NAA HUM KEARTHA,HAREH KARTHA”.that means we r not responsible for our deeds,for our thinking,for our actions,its all in our karma,and its HARI[LORD] who is behind our actions,our feelings,our deeds etc…so past is past dear .we r all puppets in God’’s hands.as a mother i never felt bad when my daughter disobeyed me.if i think from her point of view sometimes i feel that she is right.ur parents also must have felt like that.cmon Deepi cheer up.u r a medico,u should bring lights to peoples life,u should never feel like this ok?remove the darkness from ur heart dear.happy deepavali.all the best.we all love u dear.keep smiling……
great post…….. all the things happened or happening with you is common with everyone……. so many times it happens with us too……… you confessed it here……. can say we all are in search of lights…… i wish we all find it soon…..!
That is a touching confession. I think with this you have been purged of all things negative. As usual, u went seeking a meaning beyond the obvious and u saw more to Diwali than the superficial celebrations. I see u as an example to follow.
I fully agree with Neha,it needs real courage to identify one’’s own faults.And u have already done it so now it wont take long for the no moon to become full moon in ur life.you are urself like a diya for many of us,bright n beautiful.
There must be a light of hope….rests are the ups & downs of the life….ye sab aise hi chalega….so don”t worry… on such festive occaision
eat healhy,drink pure water or milk,& be marry
HAPPY DEEPAWLI TO YOU WITH ALL YOUR FAMILY
Khub sundor likhecho. Bhalo laglo.
Happy diwali to you and all your near and dear ones …..
Deepika……..I was just waiting for ur new Dewali post but am not satisfied with it. You wrote the post in pessimistic mood. Why so?? Well, u”ve recognized ur faults that means u”ve already won the half battle now. Just try to remove these darknesses from ur heart by all means.
Your name is Deepika and one’’s name influences his or her personality a lot so u spread light all around wherever you go. Simply calling ur name instills happiness in heart. 
Be happy alwaz!! Love you!! 
Happy diwali to u too deepi,darkness in ur lyf wud be removed only wen u try to overcome it n dat day wud be real diwali fr u,n fr evrybody else who undrstnds deir mistakes n try nt to repeat dem….$
SUBHA DIPAWALI DIPIKA.INJOY THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHT.
Congrats Deepika, for celebrating Deepawali in this novel way! we”re truly inspired…
sweet…you are illuminated from within but require the ground to light up on…happy diwali deepikajee.
A VERY VERY HAPPY DIWALI TO YOU.
May this Diwali bring you all the joys in your life like your beautiful name.
