Festivals

[roshini]

What are festivals for? I think they are for people to getotgether, eat and have a good time. But what significance do these festivals have when you are in a land where it is not a festival for everybody and then you just make what you are supposed to and eat. Plus if you dont knowhow to make it well you can't even call people. plus all indian festivals involve making sweets and I hate sweets so I try making it as less as possible even though I know its the same effort as to make more. Like Diwali I made sweets and mixture and then as I hate throwing food I was wondering how to finish it. Also its so much effort its not easy making all these things. Why make? thats what I think at the end of the day but I grew up with mom making something for each of these festivals and so I think I crave for that but I cant make it as well as she does or maybe I enjoyed it even more as I didnt do any work. Now I feel how casually we use to force her to make 10 types of things for diwali and I cry for making one.

I guess if everyone around shares the same regard and enthusiasm for festivals its fun but its no fun just making and observing it alone.
