Today, in class my friend asked me “Why Indians celebrate Diwali?”as she saw some pictures on my facebook wall. I happily shared the story of return of Lord Ram to Ayodhya and being crowned as the king, after completion of exile etc. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, I too asked her about Thanksgiving to which she gave me a detailed explanation. I won’t share the detailed story on my blog as it can be easily googled. However, what really impressed me was the “giving thanks” part! A question crossed my mind “How often have I appreciated what I have in life?”.Never. I have always complained of how busy my life is, how tough studying is, how tiring it is to do household chores and studies both, how ife sucks etc!
So I thought of listing a few things I was thankful for…
Arigatou Gozimasu (flaunting some Japanese I learnt while I was in Japan) for a beautiful life!
Honestly, we have a lot to be grateful for! Don’t we?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
