Thrill if festivities

Today is diwali and i am reminiscing a lot.I remember a time when the name diwali itself used to create an excitement.We used to start dreaming of colourful crackers ,new dresses to sweets.A month before diwali was the time to start demanding crackers .Parents indulgently used to explain that they will buy the crackers as soon as they start selling.Boasting in school about the various varieties on bombs you bought this year :) was a very fun activity!Hogging all the sweets in minutes was super fun.
Now lets talk about today,i am writing this blog ..Crackers no longer excite me.Sweets are consumed sparingly.Is this indication that i am getting old or am i getting jaded?I would like to think older is preferable to jaded.But now the excitement to get in touch with all your old friends and relatives.Wish them well..I cannot say that doing this gives me the same feeling of excitement as boasting of crackers.But it feels good to get to wish everyone.Possibly an era of changed things.
