The Gurupurab and The FaceBook Vacation

Helloz… :)

Happy Birthday Guru Nanak Dev Ji!! Happy Gurupurab to everyone! May you all be blessed .. :) . This is one of the days when I so miss Punjab and the Gurudwaras and the Diwali-like lights all over. Things are not very similar in Gurgaon. If you wish to pay your homage, you might need to find one Gurudwara here. And when you find one, it will be too far from your place. Cultures are so different all over the world. Today morning, me and Deepika were talking about Gurupurab, we both have different meanings of it, coz of our different bringing up, different cultures. Wow! Isn’t it wonderful actually? How many culture reside in this one small NCR? I am recalling what I wrote in my Geography exams in class 6th or may be 7th. “India is a country of diverse cultures, glorious history, outstanding monuments, various religions and festivals.” A perfect example of ‘Unity in Diversity.’ Same lines written by all the C.B.S.E. students ;). It is true, indeed.

In my school, Gurupurab is celebrated on a wide scale, with due prayers and karah parshad.. (aate ka halwa) :).  All my Punjabi friends might have updated there FB status as “Happy Gurupurab to all” or.. “lakh Khushiya Patshahiya je satrguru nadir kare..” or may be some more spiritual messages. But I couldn’t see.. coz I have deactivated my FB profile. :( Yes! Nancy, who updates FB almost every second hour with something has deactivated FB..!!! Uff, I am acting so weird! But I am so glad, I got calls from my lovable friends who couldn’t see me on FB. My sweetheart friends missed me :) and questioned me why I am not there? and where are my irritating updates? All I said was.. on a vacation! ;)

I also missed a lot of things. A few of my friend’s birthdays, some new ‘articles’ thing launched by FB, going though a few people’s profile.. being updated by the changes in relationship status of people around.. ;) the changes in profile pictures.. and surely all the new interesting updates. How reliant I was on Facebook for so many things.. and so many of us are. Good or Bad? I don’t know! For me, its doing a good thing, keeping me attached with the people around. But then, I was just checking am I getting addicted?? Got the answer.. No, I am not. :). But then , yes, I missed it badly.. am coming soon.. very soon :)

Thanks for reading. Take Care! Ciao! Keep Smiling :)
