I read this somewhere about Bringing Light to People’s Lives.
‘I do not want to be the Sun in your life, and give light when everything is bright.’
‘I wish to be the Moon in your life and give light when there is darkness everywhere’
It is easy to stand by someone when many people are already supporting him/her,
But it matters a lot, to stand by someone when no one is there to support him/her.
Happy Karthigai Deepam 🙂

Nice one Ashwini. Sun, as always, is important. But as you rightly said, moon (and “Diya” in your pic) provides light and support when we need it the most!

The sight of an earthen lamp or a deepak or a deeya evokes many feelings and conjures up many images. Lamp is a source and symbol of light which could be the light of knowledge that dispels ignorance or it could well be the light of joy that dispels sorrow. I am reminded of a famous nazm by the poet Iqbal, which was sung as a school prayer in my father's time:
Lab pe aati hai dua ban ke tamanna meri
Zindagi shamma ki soorat ho khudaya meri
– which suma up the lofty purpose of human life .
Another quote that comes to mind is ” ….when the lamp of justice goes out, how great is the darkness. The humble looking , ubiquitous lamp has lessons to learn and example to follow for all !
Nice post as usual, Ashwini !
