Letter to your father telling him about for importance of festival in our life
Answers
Dear Father,
Let me, at the outset wish you a Happy Festival!
I hope you enjoyed the day as much as we all did here. We missed you but at least we could see and talk to each other over the video call. You had asked me if I knew the significance of the festival and that set me thinking. Let me put down here my thoughts on the festival and how important it is to our lives.
In my opinion, our ancestors added these festivals to our calendar with some purpose. One of them is to bring in an air of happiness. Most of us live through our lives worrying about mundane things, particularly those living in the cities. As we celebrate a festival together, we tend to forget these worries and meeting each other, eating some grand meals and enjoying the festivities brings some fresh energy. Many of us would go back to our vocations and resume our work with a positive frame of mind.
I feel the other reason is our festivals end up bringing a lot of business and income to many poor sections of the society and this must have been one of the intentions too when such festivals were introduced in the first place. The religious link might just be incidental to all these.
I hope you are in good health. It is the season of festivals and what could be worse than not being able to celebrate the festive spirit and joy with my family.
Father, I have been away from home for a long time now but today, after a long time, I feel homesick. today i realize the importance of festivals.
It is not only about the legends which follow, but the importance of being together, through thick and thin and celebrate the years of togetherness.
Suddenly, I crave mother's homemade sweets, fighting with my siblings and for your guidance and affection.
Now I know why festivals are celebrated with so much love.
