Like my immigrant parents before me, I too have been able to make Diwali my own for my family. So, without further ado, here’s my list of the seven reasons why I love Diwali.
1. . Diwali is a time to begin anew.
2. 2. Diwali is loud, colorful and joyous.
3. 3. Diwali is delicious.
4. Diwali is rich with stories.
5. Diwali’s message about good over evil is timeless
6. Diwali is not only celebrated by Hindus.
7. Diwali, ultimately, is about triumph.
While most of us won’t fight physical demons in this lifetime, we will fight internal ones; we will despair in the darkness of our circumstances but try and see the light. In the wake of my father’s death nine years ago, I threw my very first Diwali party. By the time my partner, Jill, was on the road to recovery from cancer treatment four years ago, Diwali had become an annual tradition in our household. Through my observance of the holiday, I seek to honor my father’s spirit and to take time to acknowledge the loved ones in my life— and I do my best to throw a party my dad would have loved to attend!.
