Diwali

YOU BE THE LIGHT! 🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔

(Composed by Roshani Malandkar)

If life seems dark, probe deeper;

You need to clear the blight. 

If the morn seems far away;

You be the light! 🪔

Millions tred the wrong path;

There's tempting evil in sight. 

Try illuminating just 1 mind;

You be the light! 🪔

Everyone wants love & hope;

Ask them to hang on tight. 

You spread love & kindness;

You be the light! 🪔

Many will put you down;

Blame falsely and fight. 

To these darkened but naive souls, 

You be the light! 🪔

Happy Diwali 2024! 

🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔

This Diwali was different. No crackers. Got to know as you star everything fresh, you even keep broom for Pooja.

 “Do not try to save

the whole world

or do anything grandiose.

Instead, create

a clearing

in the dense forest

of your life

and wait there

patiently,

until the song

that is your life

falls into your own cupped hands

and you recognize and greet it.

Only then will you know

how to give yourself

to this world

so worth of rescue.”
