Diwali Left Me With Fond Memories

Memories of 14th November 2020

Last weekend, we celebrated the Festival of Lights — Diwali.

It has a great significance in Sikhism because on this day the sixth guru of the Sikhs known as Guru Hargobind Ji rescued 52 kings from the fort of Gwalior.

The day he reached Amritsar was the day when people were celebrating Diwali hence it became significant for Sikhs to celebrate it as a sign of victory over evilness.

It was a special Diwali for me.

My day started at 9:30 am and my mother’s maid came by 9:45 am. She has a maid as she is 60+. I don’t have any maids as I love to clean everything on my own on my floor. The maid did her work in one hour and we wished her a Happy Diwali.

After that, we started preparing the sweets for the day.

I made Nariyal Barfi for the first time, and my mother made Besan Ke Barfi and Ladoo.

We made Dahi Vade too. My mother makes them every Diwali and Holi Festival. This time I helped her because I am back to cooking this winter. I love to cook different delicacies.

I learned how to make tasty Dahi Vade. Mommy also prepared Imli Chutney (Tamarind) and Pudina (Mint) Spicy Chutney.

On completing the kitchen formalities, I came back to my floor. I cleaned my floor and pressed my traditional suit for the day. I also soaked battiyan (Lamp Light) in the mustard oil after counting all the divas on the instructions of mommy.

We went to the nearby Gurudwara Sahib, and it was decorated like a beautiful dream. We prayed there and came back home while walking in the market.

The light and flowers beauty experience was a treat to our eyes. At the last moment, we decided to buy some floating candles and petals of a rose.

I helped my mommy in preparing the dinner and by now our whole house was perfectly settled for any guests to welcome. We ate our dinner and did the lighting of divas and floating candles. Mommy exchanged sweets with our tenants and neighbors. They relished the taste guessing these were home-made sweets.

We were so dead tired by the end of the day but seeing the floating candles just outside my room on the balcony took all my tiredness away.

We watched TV for some time and then finally went to slumberland. My father played a big part in tasting everything we cooked and approving it with a single nod. I saw one of the oldest movies with him on Tv while eating my dinner.

Diwali left me with sweet memories and next year I am not sure where would I be celebrating it but these memories will forever be etched in my memory.
