India Today is so gung ho.
The more of this diya enthusiasm I hear, the more annoyed I am.
And the constant replay of the video message. What nightmare is this?
Now a psychologist explains why the lights are important.
Faking it till we make it... never.
Getting angrier by the minute.
And now the anchor (I have fled to another room and can hear) is suggesting that people chant mantras...
My issue is neither with diyas nor with prayer. It is with state-orchestrated spectacular performance, especially as a substitute for concrete action.
My mother is sitting with a candle in the dark balcony but all our lights are on. Both of us get our way.
Candle went out. Because it was lit half-heartedly? Whatever.
We have also had aankhon dekha haal about this. #facepalm
