Diwali means the festival of being happy and sharing happiness. The atmosphere around is such that even a stranger feels like smiling. However, sometimes we have to be careful with whom we celebrate and share happiness, because there are people around who are happy by contributing to the happiness of others. Or else there is nothing special to be happy about in their own life, so they keep bursting the balloon of others. Let's talk about last Diwali. One sister was talking very enthusiastically about the snacks and sweets she made at home. The mouths of people like me watered on hearing this, but one sister bent her mouth and said, 'Nobody eats such things in our house. Now everyone has become health conscious. And every year in Diwali its breakfast. Boredom has come. If others come from there, let's give them to the servant…' He finished the long lecture. The enthusiastic sisters fell silent. However, a friend who was present there did not stay. He immediately patted the other woman's missing jaw and said in a soft tone, 'Yes, you need to take special care of your health. Did the yoga classes make any difference or not?' So it is not appropriate to make fun of someone's weight or poor health, but in this case the woman deserved it, you will also meet such qualified people every now and then. If you are happy to lose extra weight from your body, the scribe will say, 'Yes, but your face is completely taken away.' When you get a job in a multinational company with one lakh rupees a month and give this good news to everyone, this grass-lettio will dryly congratulate him, but then tell his nephew that he is getting one and a half lakh rupees in another multinational. Now it's quite possible that he's talking, but who's going to check? And supposing he was telling the truth, what use would he have made to curtail one's happiness by killing such a fisher? Perhaps it is a sad life itself, and the happiness of others is not tolerated by it. It is very old. A friend of ours who was freelancing got a good job offer from a well-known newspaper in Mumbai. He deliberately talked people like us to tea at his own expense. Everyone congratulated him, patted him on the shoulder lovingly, but the senior journalist sitting there said in a serious voice, 'Good, but be careful. I have heard that the paper is going to close soon.' The matter went to another level. At that time, both age and intelligence were low, so I did not think that the paper, which was soon to be wound up, would hire new staff. It has been almost twenty years. That paper is still running, and the friend happily worked there for three years and then moved on and is happy. In those days even the big magazines used to print some pages in color and the rest in black and white. A four-page report by a boy belonging to Nawana was printed there. Naturally, this was a big deal for him. We all congratulated him with love, but there was also the quote. Leaving congratulations aside, he shook his head and said, 'Yes, I saw. Your story is in black and white!' In the same words, he made the price of the young man as if it was Kodi. The brother seems to have got a habit of putting other people down in the same way. After a long time I realized that only a man who suffers from severe insecurity and jealousy can do this. Never take his words seriously. And thanks to that quoter for teaching a very important lesson. Sharing our happiness only with those who are happy in our happiness. Then inform the citations if desired. And even then, we have to be prepared that there will be a weak response from the front, or maybe there will be an attempt to undermine our happiness. That time, instead of spoiling our mood, we assumed that no one was paying attention to our happiness, so the black dot was done. However good as we are, we are human. When such experience happens again and again, anger starts to come. We don't want to share our joy with that man. On the other hand, there are also people who have learned to enjoy the whole thing. One such friend says that 'keep giving good news to everyone, especially inform mean minded people. Even if it burns.' However, does this also mean that we value people too much in Naka? But if someone finds pleasure in stabbing a sword against a citation, that is his will. Now is the festival of joy. Let's light the lamp if we want to light it, and let us all be happy in each other's happiness, best wishes to you all.
