Something that touched my Heart
After a week of diwali I was chatting with one of my friend, he is
doing his MBA from XIMB and stays in hostel. I asked him how was your
diwali... and in reply what he said actually touched my heart.
He told me that he with few of his friends went to an orphanage on the day of diwali and celebrated diwali with the kids over there. When they went there initially there was no celebration going on, no candles and no sweets for kids. Then my friend along with his group distributed sweets and crackers among kids of orphanage and lightened the whole place with candles.
He even showed the photographs of that day.

Watching these photos i was able to see the enthusiasm and happiness on the face of kids... and their bright eyes and true smiles were actually giving a real message of diwali.. diwali a "Festival of Lights" victory of light over darkness.
I really felt so proud of my friend and this incidence motivated me so much that I have been sharing his experince with everyone around me and have asked others too to spread this message, let people know that we can celebrate diwali in a better way, that our little efforts can make huge difference in someone's life.
We can even do this by supporting the education of one child. Any one who is interested can check this below given link for further details:
