My first Diwali Outside Home
The day a joined the engineering college, i know i would be missing all the enjoyment of festivities, but fortunately in the four years of my engineering that never happened. Only one incident by which i would have really missed it was when i had for a 15 days training for Network and ERP at Ramco systems Kolkatta, as our training was just completed on a day before Diwali as they(Bengalies) dont celebrate it with much vigour and enjoyment.
The other friends of mine who where with me made an equal effort for me in finding a suitable train that could help me in getting to my home town at least in the late evening, when whole of the sagar is illumnated with crackers,candles and Diya's, and puja begins.
As there was no direct train for it, i had to break the journey and get down at Katni(a junction in MP), fortunately the Mumbai mail droped me at the Katni station station at the right time when another train is available for sagar. while i was in the train i was constantly thinking of whether i would be able to reach there or not, fortunately i did.
The second is incident is this Diwali, where i had missed it. As we dont have a long holidays for diwali at XIMB, the people whose home are far away had to celeberate here and our localites friends were also with us during the celebration. But the day started as if like there is some mourning in the hostel. everything was quite and still, though we had made the preparation for celebrating diwali, the intial phase was equally boroing compared to the amount of work that we have to do in home and where there always an spate of guest and relatives.
I tried to reduce the boredom by trying to sleep for the whole day, but that always plays a hide and seek game with me, when i required it the most. In the evening we made some movement and went to the RAM temple here that has really given me some satisfaction and feel that today is diwali, then we went to the ISKON temple and finally back to the hostel to find that the puja in the hostel has already began, then came the blasting part ofthe day, lots of crackers with all the hostellites taking an active part in it, never celeberated the diwali in such a way with so many people, especially as a restrained myself from burning the crackers for the last 12 years.
Still i'll never forget this diwali, enjoyed the way it is celebrated, and helps in keping the sprits of the hostelites.

I missed this post by Russ back in Sept, but as a user and follower of the pda & smart phone market for a long time it's a very interesting post.
