A New Meaning To The Deepavali Festival:

--by AtulAmbavat, posted Jan 20, 2015

Few days before this Deepavali we received a message saying that one should avoid talking about festive celebrations while traveling in Taxis, Buses or when 'not so lucky' people are around.. as they might not get a chance to celebrate the festival at all.

Me and my wife were feeling a little strange and thought let's celebrate this Deepavali with few strangers! We arranged for 25 sweet boxes to be shared with a Bus Conductor, Taxi Driver, Rag Pickers and a few others who came into contact with us randomly.

The smile and expressions on their faces touched our soul and gave us a new meaning to celebrate festivals!

We are grateful to Kindspring community, reading your stories gave us the strength to reach out to strangers and the show shall go on :)

Thank you.
