ghar aao.

it's diwali. someone's waiting inside.

me at the door

aa gaye?

light them up.

one diya for every reason.

too dark in here. fix it?

your laugh. louder than the crackers

One diya for your happiness ๐Ÿช”

One diya for your smile โค๏ธ

you make me feel like diwali.

I love you

the way you fight for the last kash ๐Ÿšฌ

you. just, you.

the whole house is glowing. (that's you.)

your rangoli.

pick the colours. i'll pour.

us

made it for you. took 4 taps. felt like 4 hours.

pick one.

(or all. no judgement. it's diwali.)

me, packing this

packed by me. half eaten by me.

for you, only.

kaju katli: expensive, classy. basically you.

laddoo: round and sweet. me, after diwali.

jalebi: our plans. never straight. always good.

gulab jamun: your hugs. warm, a bit much, perfect.

barfi: the one mummy hides. we find it anyway.

rasgulla: soft. like you pretend not to be.

us dancing

happy diwali,

Shikha

may every diya tonight burn a little bit for you.

โ€” Sanchit

hold it. i'll write your name in the sky.
