! Shree !

Brightness of Togetherness is Brighter than a Thousand Lights…

Friends, first-of-all, wish you all a very happy, healthy Diwali as this time’s darkness accompanied us much longer, nearly three years & just when the world is taking sigh of relief for defeating the unseen enemy in the form of a virus there is another darkness in the form of our age-old enemy i.e., wars, which are outcome of terrorism, hatred under the name of religions & caste & poverty! If the virus war we won’t by standing strong together forgetting of what caste we are  & which god we pray then this war of terrorism & hatred also can be won with the same weapon i.e., togetherness. Only difference is the virus war we had vaccines as our shield while in the war with hatred we need to have a vaccine named responsibility!

Agreed, we all understand our responsibilities towards our family, friends, colleagues but when it comes to understanding our responsibility towards the society or people whom we don’t know then sorry to say we are very selfish or short sighted & this is where we need to improve if we want to defeat an enemy named hatred! As we think of what gifts our family members or friends will like to have from us or even expects the way we should react when someone from them makes a mistake & we try to behave the way they wanted us we should, that is friends being responsible to them, right? But ask our own self individually, how we react when its about our action when some shares some wrong message about a caste or religion on Whatsapp or the way we break social rules such as jumping red traffic signal or even ignoring a wounded wild animal (even humans) on the road; do we react responsibly at such times? I know the answer & the reason is, we think why we should be responsible for such things as none of our so-called close ones are involved, right? This is where we should add something to this Diwali along with Happy & that is, Responsibility, as once we start following it on all fronts of the society then this hatred named enemy won’t be able to force us to behave wrongly & that’s the surest way to defeat it! Smallest things we can start with such as not burning fire crackers, plant a tree & make it grow, don’t forward caste/religion hatred spreading messages, help any poor family around you in every possible way, drive carefully on road & the list of being responsible is endless!  So, please go ahead  & start a new era, an era of togetherness  by being responsible human-being towards every wrong thing happening around  us, by lending a hand to conserve nature as well by helping someone who needs just a little support from you & make this Diwali the Brightest i.e.,Responsibilitywali!
