Atharv lighted the diyas, ‘There you go Shantanu, now place them in a straight line’ he showed him, ‘like this.'
‘Ok Papa! Yay’ The six year lad placed the diyas carefully, in ecstasy.
‘Now, place this sweet box, and say “Happy Diwali”’
‘HAPPY DIWALI’ the kid cackled.
Atharva caressed his head, ‘Come! Let’s go home. Time for some fun.’
Sunderlal used to beg in that footpath from last 45 years, in dejection; but today, the gleam in face overshadowed the diyas.
