What is it about the festivals in India, that creates a buzz? I so love the festivals. The colours, the lights, the excitement in the air. The similar excitement that I am feeling right now. Just a day and I'll be home. And just two before Diwali. Maybe that's the reason why. 


But then what about the time about 4 years back. The winters right after I started working.
 December began, and I could sense a sliver of excitement in my own self as soon as i would step out of work. I felt everyone is nicer. Felt everything is brighter.
A couple days gone by, a happiness generally for the impending Christmas time and the winter break set in.
Wait. What winter break? And what Christmas time for that matter?? I was working then. Not in college anymore. No breaks no "festive season frenzy". Office every day. Same work every day. Then why does the mind do that? Why do I feel the excitement, even though nothing physically around me has changed? 


Maybe because, Festive is, just, a state of mind.


Have a good festive season, enjoy! :)
