The real Diwali... shopping-wali!

- Unencumbered joy-inexhaustible antani

Such a Diwali... Such a Diwali... This time it's a real Diwali... Beautiful rangolis go all over the house and (Ho)Balakaki sings.

Hearing the aunt's cry, Pathukaka said 'You are absolutely right. Diwali celebrations were 'covid-ridden' during the harsh Corona period, so there was no deployment. The year that sits on the true Diwali has come this time and brought colors of happiness.' (Ho)Balakaki hung up and said, 'You are right, when you are tired of eating color pills in the corona period, the opportunity to do this rangoli instead of color pills has come, that's why I am singing this Diwali... real Diwali... now. If you go to the mall in the evening and buy an expensive saree for me, you will feel like this is a real Diwali...purchased.'

Hearing this request of aunt, the stingy uncle turned his hand to the wallet lying in his pocket and said 'I am to tu when you were singing that this Diwali is really Diwali... Only then I understood that you will definitely order to buy some gift... so even if a little current. Even though I have sent money from the current account for the purchase, after buying the saree, I will sing Aali Diwali... Aali Diwali, Aali Diwali, Aali Diwali...'

I arrived while this last dialogue was going on, but realized that the stingy uncle was going to buy a Diwali saree for the aunt. So I praised (ho) Balakaki and said, 'Have you seen? This is called a true-hearted Diwali... What kind of love does uncle have for you?'

Aunt Harkhai said, 'Tara Kaka Bahu Lovengia hai ho Lovengia...' Pathukaka put a pause in between and said, 'Hey? Turned me from a husband to a loving tattoo?' Aunty says, 'Hey my Lovengia... You are loving and love a lot so Lovengia Keedha...' Uncle laughed and said, 'This is what happens in the world of most people. Dhani Kare Love and Dhaniani Kare Love-Love (ball-ball), right? And if I don't make my religious wife a firecracker by wearing a new nakkor saree today, my name will not be known...'

I said, 'Uncle, once upon a time when there was no ban on bursting firecrackers, how fun was it to go on the roads and in the fields to burst firecrackers and set off firecrackers? do you remember In high society, there used to be a formal party to burst the firecrackers, which was a blast... Oh my God, why don't we have such parties to burst the firecrackers now?'

The uncle replied from his molars, 'Where is the party of bursting firecrackers? Did you see how many parties broke out before Diwali?'

I said, 'Uncle, many firecrackers burst from the party, but some of the firecrackers burst into flames, while others blew up. Some of the rockets burst horizontally and penetrated anywhere. Do you know what the firecrackers that burst for the sake of power are called in today's divisive politics? Sattakada ka Fatputakada... In this too, money, i.e. Lakshmi Chhap Teta, must have been used to break some (ie members)?'

Pathukaka immediately uttered a rhyme and an instant break that -

'From whose hands power is loosed,

He scratched his forehead while sitting.

He who lusts for power,

Thus the entire loom bursts.'

Before uncle's rant could go on for long, I interrupted him and asked, 'Uncle, when crackers explode, noise pollution spreads, right? So if the whole party explodes, what kind of pollution will work behind it?

Pathukaka thought and said, 'When crackers explode, noise-pollution spreads and when party explodes, money-pollution does not remain, understood?'

I spoke about money-pollution and said that even if 'Mann ki Baat' is happening today, does any other party give importance to 'Dhan ki Baat'? That's why I say-

'Win the election

Loss of taxpayer's money,

Breaking and breaking governments

money grabber,

Won't you blow it up?

Everyone has voted

Know know.'

Pathukaka said, 'Rich people who earn loose money and keep it in foreign banks and some leaders who have accounts in Swiss banks might be doing Lakshmi Puja and praising Manoman, do you know? That would be saying -

Jai Lakshmi Mataji...

Lakshmiji is pleased to have our account in Swiss Bank...

So is it possible to raise a finger?'

Talking about Lakshmi Pujan, Pathukaka spoke up, 'When Diwali comes, the manipulation of owls secretly increases a lot. Just yesterday I read in the press that ten live owls were caught from one man's bag. Do you know that?' What does Diwali have to do with owls, I asked? Uncle replied, 'Hey brother, don't you know? Lakshmiji's vehicle is an owl which is called Ullu in Hindi. Tantrics and superstitions believe that Lakshmiji enters the house on Diwali, so if her vehicle is sacrificed then Lakshmiji cannot go back? Stay at home. So many poor owls are sacrificed.'

I said in surprise, 'I don't know that the owl is the vehicle of Lakshmiji and the owl is killed in this way.'

Pathukaka said, 'Lakshmiji's vehicle is Ullu, which is satirized in the diary. The artist said that Lakshmiji's vehicle is Ullu right? So if you earn money by making someone an 'owl', then Lakshmiji will be pleased, speak!'

I said -

'Prices of all things

Listening to it burns,

Lakshmiji in such inflation

Who will please?'

Uncle says, 'You are right, how can common people celebrate Diwali when the prices of everything from farsan to sweets, dresses to decorations and light poles to crackers have gone up? Then what is Diwali which is not celebrated with mind called instead of mind-Diwali? Depressed?'

I looked at the almanac and asked my uncle for information, 'Is it true that there is an eclipse in Diwali?' Pathukaka sneered and said, 'What is the wonder that there is an eclipse in Diwali? Every Diwali, inflation seems to be eclipsed, right? Then one has to celebrate Diwali by borrowing like drinking ghee after going into debt? So after Diwali, before Dev-Diwali comes, 'Deva-Diwali' is only in the evening, right?'

Hearing this, the aunt who came rushing from the kitchen not like a bullet train, but like a multi-late train, shouted, 'What are you doing all day about price hikes... price hikes? Stay dumb during the festival? It's been a whole year to squirm, but the price goes down even though you and I squirm as much as you do?'

Pathukaka said in a slightly amused mood, 'This is your aunt and on this black fourteen days heads are placed in the village square to remove noise from the house. By eating that crunchy head, the poor dog gnaws and halves the whole year. Just think how much your aunt will be in the head? But there is one thing, no matter how much Kaki Kali Chaudas makes a fuss, she gets recharged like she was back in 48 hours.'

I said, 'Aunty, they make such noises by placing their heads in the square, but on the other hand, the opposition always keeps making noises against our hot 'leaders' in the political square, what happens?'

Aunty heard our freebies and shouted again, 'In the last few days, don't wash and get ready, how long will you do this wrong?'

As soon as the atmosphere changed, I started walking home in a panic.

There are two ways of awe in the ears. With the boom of a bairi and the loom of firecrackers.
