The smile won’t leave my face.
The happiness in my heart won’t go away.
This day brings back all the days when I was a little girl, colors on my tiny hands, flowers in my pony tails.
Running around the neighborhood with a child like perception that every day was going to be filled with festivities.
Where are the sparrows I have to protect my Rangoli from?
The screams of joy or was it the sounds of bursting pataake?
Why did I never mind baking the crackers in the sun for weeks for only 2 hours of fun on that day!
The cold night, the snapshot of a favorite family moment, the sweetness of bataashas.
Do I miss that now, but can I trade places with where I am on this day?!
Relish and devour this evening my dear child,
For, all these fireworks on display are no match to the sparkles in your eyes!

Will you join me on this journey of growth and transformation?
Namasté.
