Wow. I have really started to NOT blog.
& I thought I'd be blogging a lot more during the holidays.
Ah well. Things around me are changing.
Like cigarettes. I don't feel like smoking ever since I came back from Delhi-Agra.
In fact, I tried to smoke a cigarette yesterday..
& I had half and threw it away.
I don't know. Maybe it's just a phase?
Oh right, it's Diwali. Oh joy !
The only thing I look forward to on Diwali is ..
WAIT.. there's nothing :o
Surprising, eh? (A)
It was the usual, but nicer.
I don't know why, but things are turning out for the better..
& I think it's because I expect nothing.
I expected nothing on this birthday & it was fantastic.
Diwali is 'supposed' to be the major Hindu festival.
Honestly, I just sit for the religious rituals so that my mum doesn't get upset.
She doesn't nag otherwise.
She wasn't scandalized when at 15 I told her I am going to live an atheist's life.
But every once in a while I follow her lead..
As long as it doesn't contradict my fundamental convictions, I don't really mind :)
& there were no crackers bought this year which was like icing on the cake ^_^
So that's that.
Diwali was more of a 'family' thing this year.
It didn't feel like formality weighing down on me.
Neither did I wonder why everyone's so happy on this day.
(Yes, I have been wondering for the past few years..)
I think I finally had my 'Happy Diwali' ..
Hope you had yours too <3
P.S. The only thing that's crappy is the fact that gym is closed for two days straight! :@ How am I supposed to be consistent people?!
