It is said that you understand importance of something when you are away from it and it seems day by day, I am realizing it more intensely..
This is festival time, DIWALI WEEK and no celebration here in US.
I have always loved some Indian customs like pooja, crackers, making sweets and visiting friends and relatives. And here, in US, how much hard you try to follow, it is not possible all the time. This is my first diwali after getting married. Ideally, should be more enjoyable. I always try to feel that enthu and energy within myself, but the moment I realize I do not have anybody to share except my husband, I burst into tears.
Here, I understand importance of family,you always have somebody to share your joy ans sorrows. I have always felt otherway round; you would find somebody crying on your sadness, but there would be few who will feel the same happiness as you feel!
I know this is pretty common situation and I have to face it not only for Diwali but all other festivals and occasions. I also know that I am not the only one like this, but still, it has got different meaning and its own importance when you are with your beloved one!!
I just feel jealous for who are with their family. It is not the matter of mere celebration, but kinda link which brings you all closer..so just hoping time will come for me too when my family would be with me in US or I will be there in India!
