Diwali pulls you home like gravity. Rituals aren't just tradition, but antidotes to loneliness, anchors that sustain us through repetition and predictability.
Rituals is a real antidote to loneliness as well as to get over grief. The rituals that really gets me thinking is the ceremonies we do while your near and dear ones leave for heavenly abode. This brings friends and family together and makes one to share the grief and also get over the loss. It is very powerful - otherwise these becomes unbearable.
So great thought process and well articulated. Now I make my best effort to become part of these rituals and thoroughly love it. Time well spent.
