Missing My Town....

It is more than 3 years since I have been a part of Chhath celebrations at my hometown. Born and brought up among these festivals, I really miss the excitement we used to have for them. As I said, I love Diwali….it is my favourite festival and the following Chhath has equally been of importance. I miss the way we used to welcome these festivals….
...it showed the real religious India....the faith...the presence of the Almighty.....nothing superstitious...but just the belief that there is someone above you- taking care of you.....
In Mumbai, things are different. Here we have a different culture around. I know the entire city (almost)….yet I feel I am not a part of it. Here - life is free - yet we are in limitations. Everything is at the doorstep…yet every moment appears to be busy…Comfort is available in every way…yet there is no peace of mind….
I miss my town….my people….my society….my birthplace….
…..specially during festivals….
