The festival of lights, our very own, Diwali is always the much anticipated festival of the year!

While most of us enjoy the ride whining about the struggles and hardships, very few enjoy it in every moment. It is only when this ride is about to end, that a replay button is switched on.

Only a few have an approaching end filled with contentment and gratitude!
