Today is Karthikai Deepam , a festival of lights celebrated in the month of Karthikai, as per Tamil Calendar. It is definitely one of the best festivals that bring colour and cheer.

I was clicking pictures of oil lamps being lit, using my phone. That is when I realized that opposites are mandatory to feel and observe the best of something.

When there is darkness , you know what light is and vice-versa.Only if something is tall , you realise that something else is short. This , I would never say as comparisons , but relations. There is a difference.

It’s not only negative that is negative but even positives are negatives to the negatives. Get it ? No?! Read it again!

There is a meaning to anything and everything we find on earth. It’s on us to treat it the way things deserve.

To me , bad things will always be the sources of how good a person / thing can be. If you say someone or something is with flaws , you might want to check how bad the flaw is- Manageable , bad , very bad,thereby you know how to deal with it accordingly.

Even when the whole world is dark , a tiny little lamp that is lit is enough to show the path.

Let there be darkness to embrace the light in our lives!
