Dashain always has been that festival which I
wait for entire year to cherish. Dashain for me is more than just a festival.
For me, it beholds little bit different definition. For me, Dashain is the
celebration of kinship & emotional bonds where the blessings from the
guiding hand of our elders, which weigh a lot more than gold & money, are
shed over us with Tika & Jamara. Dashain is that time of the year in Nepal
where all of us, regardless of our economic status, color & gender, enjoy
with all our heart alongside mutual respect & participation from others.
As usual, this year too, Dashain left us with light hearts & happy faces with smiles. With no regrets, we enjoyed our Dashain. Being among those who love us & whom we love, Dashain becomes even more meaningful. In our family, Dashain has always been that time period where all of us are usually at home celebrating these happy days that come once in a year. The feel during this time is distinct & heart warming. To be honest when I was a child, Dashain was a festival for me where i got lots of Dakshina, played swing & cards with my sister, cousins & friends.
But now as I am growing, Dashain has turned out to be a break from my busy life where I can come out from the world of books, lecture classes & schooling. I can enjoy some days with my family whom somehow I've been neglecting & given less than enough attention & love in my daily life. Thanks to my family & relatives, this year's Dashain has left golden traces of the beautiful moments we had together, the ones that can"t be erased & the ones that I shall cherish when i will grow old & grey. I feel so grateful & sad as Dashain of 2075 has came to an end & this beautiful time passed by like a light breeze that touched my heart & soul smoothly yet left me with mixed feeling. But I shall name this Dashain as a precious one, maybe because this is the last Dashain that I've celebrated as a school student : )
