It was her first Diwali,she was ten months old,
She couldn't take her eyes off from me as I looked different,
wearing shiny clothes and gold.
She smiled and enjoyed looking at those bright lights,
In her small green lehenga she looked like Goddess Lakshmi in
disguise!!
While I enjoyed all these moments I was anxious and careful,
I tried my best to save her from the sound of crackers and its
smell which was harmful !!
It was my first Diwali with my child , after her birth ,
Truly a memorable day on Earth!!
