What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
I’m back here after a gap of a few days and successfully completing my sisters wedding programme…
A few things still remain incomplete and a few payments still remain pending which will be completed in the coming week…!
We have that sort of liberty with businesses we made purchase from because we buy stuff from them on the regular and we started our conversation with this fact that we are from the bride’s side and we will have expenses…!
And,
only after they agreed we picked up stuff from them;
The time forward will be of a lot of hardwork and we will have to pinch ourselves and save each and every penny(well in our case rupee)
Because in the coming days ahead there will be people who will be visiting us both from ours and grooms side and we will have to prepare ourselves accordingly;
And,
I’m happy for the fact that we were able to manage it on our own,
well we took help of my cousins and a brother who is not blood related but took the place of someone who’s more than that and arranged it all for us…!
Other than that,
all of us will be operating in recovery mode because we moved so much here and there each day;
All of my joints are making a clicking noise when I move and I can’t seem to do away with the back pain that has been surging from the day before the programme started;
Maybe because I had to sleep on a foam mattress that we took from a business on rent…!
All of this will generally fade away on its own,
but,
I’ll find a doctor or a physiotherapist if the pain persists longer than a few more days…!
Coming back to the prompt
My favourite holiday and why I like it…
Being an Indian and Panjabi Brahmin on top of that;
We don’t celebrate Easter or Christmas but we do get involved with the people following Christianity in their celebrations…!
For me it would be
Diwali 🪔
A festival that all of the nation celebrates at the same time and welcomes goddess Lakshmi asking her for prosperity in our home;
Also lighting diyas 🪔 in our homes;
Just like the people did in Ayodhya when lord Rama won the war with Lord Ravana…!
We,
Well most Indian children like it because we are with our family, eat sweets and we are handed over money in the form of gifts and we can use it however we want when we are adults;
But,
when we were kids all of it was taken away from us by our parents…!
something that still stays with us even after so many years…!
We are together and we pray to the almighty to bless us and the people around us with life and prosperity and we also ask for forgiveness for our mistakes and shortcomings that we have and also ask for the power to get over them in the coming year…!
We also ask the almighty—
For a better life to those who have left for the holy abode and maybe reincarnation into another life…!
A festival that reminds us of the people who we were with last year and their presence is missed if they aren’t with us anymore…!
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍
