Dil waali Diwali 🪔 Anthology
Festival like Diwali was a wishful call
Helping mom with delicacy and distribute to all
Lighting diyas, cleaning home, wishing relatives and friend
May continue now too but those days had a different trend
The most special thing was it was done with heart
And festive season connected two ppl miles apart
Peple used to visit houses to give handmade sweet
Slowly it turned to store bought treat
I was accepting all the changing phases of festival season
However 'Dil'is missing in Diwali for the the below reason
Back in mangalore my parents stay in a society lane
Last year losing my mom was such a pain
Dad was doing ok as he has health issues odd
And I was looking for a help to stay with him as I stay abroad
His health conditions wouldn't allow him to travel
And I was just waiting for my arrival
My dad had his food arranged deal
He felt weak but missed his meal
He fell near gate and hurt his bone
And some road labourer helped him get home
He called my bro who stays a bit far
I m glad he came on right time to attend dad's scar
As soon as he arrives at night
my neighbour Nayana sees this and switchs off doors and light
Due to body pain dad couldn't walk
Although bro had kept water nearby he couldn't take
Dad calls me and said that he is thirsty and needs water
I called my neighbours for help as a human and not merely as a daughter
Mrs. Lobo says she is going for mass so can't attend
My other neighbour Mrs.Mallya who otherwise used to sweets send
Says that to give water noone will come
Other neighbour Kini said he is at work and treated me as if I am troublesome
Dad's so called friend and relatives who came to each of our family function
To relish the food, get gossips but none were there to share my concern
Mrs.Lobo then sends her house help to give dad water
And then calls me over phone later
Mentions that for the favour that she has given broad
She wants me to repay it by giving her nephew a job abroad
Sometimes I feel ppl are less human as technology pace doubles
As noone wants to take any unnecessary troubles
Real help is to be selfless and be kind towards someone in need
This is what develops in good karmic seed
Wishing a blissful festival and Pouring my heart with you all
I believe god is holding my hands and will never let me fall
Thankfully a good arrangement for dad is made at place
Only prayers for this Diwali is for him to heal by God's grace !!

Awesomely awesome🔥
Your heart-warming words paint a beautiful picture of the transformation of Diwali, highlighting how it was once a festival of warmth and true bonding, but has now lost some of its essence in the modern world.🔥
Personal experiences highlight the difference between the idealised image of Diwali and the reality of human apathy. Despite the apathy, acts of compassion are also highlighted.Your views on the changing nature of relationships and the impact of technology are insightful. Your prayers for your father's recovery reflect the true spirit of the festival - a time of hope, healing and the triumph of light over darkness.🔥
May your father recover completely, and may Diwali bring you peace, joy and a renewed faith in humanity.🔥
Keep inking
Keep inspiring 🔥
