To all my family, friends and relatives I wish you a happy Navratri. It's time to blow and share happiness all around us. Children are excited about having new clothes whereas parents are a bit stressed due to over expenses of the children and family, just kidding 😆😅. Most of the people get together to celebrate this auspicious occasion and for some, it's time to miss their family and friends. For a few, it's even the time to miss their motherland. This blog is going to be a bit different, specially dedicated to those who are away from home and missing the feeling of the biggest festival of Hindus. Let's get started, shall we?
It's really difficult to be away from home on this auspicious occasion. It is not that easy to celebrate the festival without family and relatives around you. But if you can't do anything on this why to worry about? You are there for a cause. You are there for a reason. And you are the reason behind the smiley faces in the family. It is not that they don't miss you, they miss you more than you miss them. But for your happiness, they hide their sadness so that you won't feel low. Make sure you won't let them down. Your feelings can be expressed and felt. Video calls are helping you to connect with your family and friends no matter how far you are from them. Technologies give you the opportunity to see your loved ones celebrating. It's a great feeling, isn't it?
I would love to share some of the experiences of my friends and relatives how they feel being away from home on this auspicious occasion. They say that they don't find any good vibes of the festivals. They don't feel the incense in the environment there. Some miss their grandparents, some say there is no festive feel as they are busy with their work, college. And one of them mentioned that the most irritating thing is when they see posts related to festivals in social media and they can do nothing about it except missing their family and complaining about their fate. And the funniest one was one of my dearest friends told me that he has no excitement for the festivals. It feels like the usual day.
Life abroad is not as easy as we think. It's full of obstacles which might not be physical sometimes, but are mental and mental obstacles are enough to make you homesick. And being homesick is really disastrous at these auspicious occasions. Lucky are those who were abroad and are able to be at home in these days. I can't say someone is unlucky as they choose that life or I can say the situation makes them be there. It's okay to be away from home for the happiness of your people. It is what matters the most, the smile of the face of the people that mean the world to you.
Internet is playing a vital role in connecting the families on such occasions. Yeah, you may not be with them physically but you can have visual feels. The visual presence is much more effective than the absence. But what I have seen is people being nearby or within a city makes excuses for not attending the festival. This problem is increasing and the relationships are not being valued. Adults are ignoring their parents on the name of work, jobs and the parents who sacrificed their lives are just hoping to see them and celebrate this precious moment together. They have made the festivals just another event of their life.
Festivals are for connecting people not to separate. Stay connected. You and your family are directly proportional to each other. One is not complete in the absence of others. You need your people and they need you too. Feel the importance of family. Wish you have a wonderful time together.
Family, friends, relatives who are away from home may God bless you with lots of love and happiness. Don't feel low, you are there for a purpose and make sure you fulfill the purpose. Stay happy, stay blessed.
