Tomorrow It is Diwali. Everyone is celebrating this festival of lights and happiness with their family and loved ones and you are sitting alone in a city away from your home. Many people will be away from their homes on Diwali this year. Some for studies and some for jobs. Due to many reasons it might have happened that you might not have been able to go home for the festival.
It is a very emotional moment when you are not with your family on a happy occasion. The rest of the day is spent in the hustle and bustle of work. But I miss my family a lot during those times when everyone around is celebrating with their families.
But as Lord Buddha said, happiness lies within us. Similarly, perhaps you can find that happiness within yourself, with yourself too, this Diwali. At least one should try it.
so let’s go today relationship In this column, we talk about how we can make Diwali happy and memorable even by living alone. All the ideas given in this story were told by those mothers whose children are away from them this Diwali.
First let us know the reasons due to which one may feel lonely during the festival. See the graphic below-
How to celebrate Diwali while staying away from home?
Just because you are away from home and alone, does not mean that you should not celebrate on happy days. Anyway, happiness is our choice. If we want, with a little effort we can make this day very special even on our own.
This is also an opportunity to test our capabilities, make new friends and make a small promise to ourselves that whether we are alone or with our loved ones, we will always be happy.
So, this Diwali we are giving you some small tips, which can brighten your festival even away from home.
Things are very simple, there is no magic box. All you have to do is decide to celebrate the festival on Diwali instead of lying in front of the TV, alone, in your pajamas.
First read some of the things written in the graphic below, then decide where to start doing these things.
Now let us talk about this in detail.
prepare yourself mentally
We have been celebrating Diwali with our family and friends since childhood. In such a situation, when we are away from them this Diwali, it is natural to miss them and feel lonely. But to what extent is it right to sit in despair? So leaving sadness behind, let us first prepare ourselves mentally for Diwali celebration.
Why not start with cleaning the house
Then what is the delay now? Start with cleanliness. Like our mothers and sisters leave no stone unturned to make their home a heaven on Diwali. In the same way, let us also pick up the broom and make every corner of the house shine. Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi has said about cleanliness-
Decorate your small house with rangoli
The house was cleaned. Now it’s time to decorate it. For this, go to the market without any delay and buy some colors for rangoli. Apart from this, do not forget to buy fringes, lights, flowers, garlands, torans, lamps and candles because without these the festival is incomplete.
After coming from the market, prepare a wonderful rangoli at the main gate of the house. Share a glimpse of this with your family also. Even if you don’t know how to make rangoli, still definitely try. For this you can also take help of YouTube.
definitely buy clothes for yourself
Keep in mind that when you go shopping on Diwali, do not forget to buy clothes for yourself. These make you feel festive. You can also make video calls to your family for clothing choice.
This Diwali, do all the work that a mother does at home.
While doing all this, it is natural to remember our mother because at home we used to help our mother in all these tasks. In such a situation, this Diwali, we must do all the work alone, which we used to do at home with our mother. Like illuminate your small abode with chandeliers, lights, lamps and candles, put bandanwar on the door, decorate your worship place with flower garlands etc.
Ask mother for kheer recipe
Now comes the matter of food. So why not call your mother and ask her for the recipe of that kheer. Whatever she prepares at home, everyone eats it with great enthusiasm. Make it yourself and tell your mother about its taste.
Make a video call with family and write a letter to them
The most important thing. Don’t forget to talk to every member of your family. For this, they can also make a group video call. And yes, if possible, try something new. Write a letter to your family. Of course it may seem a bit strange, but when they receive this letter from you, it will be a different feeling for them.
Why not knock on your neighbor’s door today on Diwali
This Diwali, our family is not with us, but we can compensate to some extent with our neighbours. For this, on the day of Diwali, go to your neighbor’s house with a box of sweets, knock on their door and express your happiness with them. Increase interaction with them.
Gift your loved ones
It would be a great idea if we gift some gifts to our loved ones, friends and family on the occasion of Diwali. This will make them feel special and this will increase more love for you in their heart.
Invite office colleagues to your home
How great would it be, when instead of staying alone, we invite office colleagues to our homes on Diwali and enjoy the festival with them, have fun, burst crackers and then have dinner together. The great philosopher Aristotle has said about friendship-
See the beautiful view of the city in the evening
Finally, take a tour of the city to see the night view. See how illuminated the whole city is with lights. The atmosphere of happiness everywhere and the sound and light of firecrackers will make your heart happy. Now we can experience for ourselves how beautifully we have celebrated Diwali this time despite not being with the family.
