Celebrations

Onam, Diwali, Eid, Christmas;

Marriages or Baby showers;

No matter the occasion,

They make it perfection.

Mummy's food and Pappa's stories,

Brother's Guitar and sister's ghungroo, 

Friends' jokes and late night pranks,

Neighbours' visits and never ending chitchats,

Aunties' new sarees and fresh gossips,

Uncles' politics and sports over a chai,

Grandmas asking 'when marriage?'

Or Grandpas teasing 'you have boyfriend?'

Friends who love you like family

And a family that treats you like friends

Are the biggest gifts God can ever give;

They are the biggest celebrities 

And a bigger deal than crushes.

Every celebration counts 

But in truth, they are just an excuse

To be with the people you love the most.

Make excuses to

Love a bit more everyday,

Celebrate each moment to

Live a bit more everyday.

You never know 

When is your last day or theirs.

All you have to celebrate and love 

is them and this passing moment.
