Diwali is a part of each one of you! ‘How so?’ you may ask. It’s simple… it signifies light over darkness just as the everyday choices we make of good over evil.
Going by traditions, Diwali is an age-old festival celebrated in many countries in honor of some historical figures. Whatever one’s belief and religious significance, for me it is a celebration of life and a time to share with those in need. In today’s extraordinary circumstances, it means so much more to be part of a community supporting one another to be resilient and praying for a stronger tomorrow. And that’s exactly what Diwali is all about- a time to rejoice with family and friends, thankfully reflecting the good and bad times, spread cheer and share kindness.
Reflections from some of my special Diwali moments: Fond memories of Diwali include family get-togethers with cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents busy preparing tasty sweets and snacks, sharing the food with neighbors and friends, staying up late playing games and lighting fireworks and firecrackers.
One of the most important life’s learning was from my father (an ex-Navy man) who was not a very religious person but on any festive occasion, he would make a donation to a place of charity and taught us that even if all other rituals were to change, remember to be human.
Here at Deckers, celebrating Diwali symbolizes unity in diversity bringing forward a unique flavor combining goodwill, generosity and community spirit.
Let today be filled with light for a brighter tomorrow! Wishing every one of you a Happy Diwali!
