Diwali Sweets

Celebrating Diwali!

Some years ago, when we celebrate Diwali, there would be some sort of expectation towards, wearing new dress, bursting crackers, to eat lot of sweets, share sweets among frineds relatives etc... We usually buy dresses for selective festivals like this and there was a value for it. We usually make sweets only for certain specific festivals with specific sweets and there was a value for it. We used to live in independent houses where in we will have a big space infront of the houses and bursting crackers in front of the house along with neighbours was a big fun.

Now a days all these values hase gone with the wind. Since people buy dresses for any occassions without hesitations and get the sweets from the sweet shops etc..those old age values has gone. Since people live in small petty flats, bursting crackers tradition has already gone. Since people get lot of sweets from outside and offices etc...no value for the sweets prepared at home and distributed by relatives. People give a bad look at the sweets made at home and the value for the effort and time spent on to make sweets and savories has already gone.

Recently i saw an event. Some one visiting somebody's home do not worry to share the sweets they get from office etc.. They pluck out the sweets they like and share the remains to the friends'/relatives place. I dont know what kind of culture it is..........

The eagarly served sweets/food is not given with any respect and they are all of given with the least value and no one wants to talk about it also.

The value for the old age tradition has totally gone...............
