Every year we have a Diwali puja...There is comfort in continuity...As the children were growing up, they wanted to do different things with their friends and skip the puja...and I insisted that they attend the puja and then do what they have to do!
Somehow I feel that one of the precious memories of 'growing up' is things that you do together...That is why traditions are so important...and besides 'those who pray together and with love stay together and...their prayers are almost always answered...

At the Diwali programme at the Times of India...I gifted the children a copy of Dadi Nani ki Kahaani and told them that they are the future leaders...they have to learn to co-exist peacefully if we need to preserve the planet...The only home we know and share!
