A Dark Diwali Comments

This one made me sad. That's where the success of this poem lies. charred soul and a lump in my throat, or Staring back at me with sneering, arrogant eyes, Reminding me of my smallness, these words evoke a strong melancholic mood. Its ironic that during festivals many people feel unhappy. During that time we tend to miss those more whom we have lost or sometimes we can feel lonely even when we are surrounded by people.

EXCELLENT. A BOLD PENNED

The poem evokes sadness in the readers' mind, as they come across the poignant thoughts of the poet: 'Reminding me of my smallness, The dust on my shoes, Of my neglected home, Of all those terrible choices I made, Decisions that brought me here'. A very well composed poem that eloquently describes the poet's melancholy mood on a day of celebrations!

great write, little bit heart wrenching, very emotional write.i read so many times.my eyes become moist.(chokhe jol ese gelo je)

Extremely insightful poem. When a person is satisfied and happy, every day is a celebration. Otherwise, celebrating a festival itself seems to be a farce. Thanks, Jasbir ji, for sharing.

This is brilliantly penned emotional poem from memory and perception presented here about Diwali. From smallness to greatness proceeding towards light with eagerness is great....10
