This was a unique diwali. But then, most of the Diwalis I have celebrated have been unique. The first one, in 1997 was in Rajasthan, close to the border. Then, there was one in Kashmir, where we woke up to the muezzin’s call to the faithful for prayer. We lit crackers and distributed sweets amongst the devotees and maulvis at Baba Reshi. The Diwali in Tripura was celebrated by just a handful of us, in the dense jungles that surrounded our HQ, over drinks in the Mess. One advantage of being in chennai, close to sivakasi was the cheap rate at which we got fire-crackers. One cannot plan to have a quiet diwali in the Forces. I talked to a whole lot of friends and colleagues, apart from family. One special moment was talking to Jairaj Padmanabhan and Sanjay Ruparel after around 15 years. Felt good. I have mainly to thank ‘Facebook’ for this.
