This is a comparatively quieter Diwali. And we did did not go out. Just decorated the house. In fact noticed a neighbour's house devoid of light. And amid the shine it spoke of gloom.  The filmstars house was all lit up. Starry bright. A contrast. And that's life. Someone's laughing and someone's crying. Life goes on. Like Mandala, like circles. And we hope for the best.
