‘O! I am so excited for it is Diwali’ Poem by 6 year old Atharva Agarwal from Kolkata

Hey everyone, your best friend Sara here!  What a time of the year, for celebrations throughout the country!

Diwali or Deepavali, the festival of lights is here.

And we cant get enough of it!

Here is a young poet and Diwali enthusiast, 6 year old Atharva Agarwal from Kolkata telling us why the Diwali rocks for him!

=================================================================

I woke up at 6 in the morning on the day of the ‘Festival of Lights,’

Received so many gifts and chocolates with love and delight.

Many relatives dressed in traditional clothes and came to my house to greet,

Some friends also ecstatic joined us in the meet.

Around the deity we lit the earthen lamps.

O! I am so excited, for it is Diwali.

Our building was decorated with colourful twinkling lights,

We made rangoli with beautiful sights.

Rockets flew high in the sky,

We burst sparkling crackers where the sparks fly.

The flowerpots looked great and bright.

O! I am so excited for it is Diwali.
