The Festive Spirit !!
I suspect, festivals were invented to bring some enjoyment in the day-to-day life of people...and here, sitting far from India, where the festival of colours (Holi) is being played today, I am actually realising the importance of some of those festivals, which I took for granted, while I was there.Sometimes,I would sneer at the people who were so enthusiastic about decoration, meeting relatives/neighbours and distributing presents and sweets, and dressing up on these occassions. I was so wrong to do that. These few days in a year, do bring all of us (who may not meet regularly because of work, distance etc) together and enjoy together.
In HK, we have our own set of festivals... and the noise, the crowds, the colourful decorations reminds me that human beings (wherever they are on this planet) are basically socials animal and if these diversions are not there, life, in fact, will be extremely boring for all of us(social animals).
So, I guess, we should just let our hair down and enjoy the festivities while we can... and spread happiness around....
