As much as Diwali is about wearing new clothes, lighting up your home and celebrating with loved ones, it’s also about being selfless and brightening up the lives of others. This thought has been beautifully brought alive in this Diwali video by HP India, that reimagines an age-old tradition from point of view of a child.
Before we tell you more, watch it here.
The video is inspiring and heart-warming at the same time. You saw how the child is determined to make the festival of lights special for someone else so he comes up with a rather creative solution.
He interprets a longstanding Diwali tradition only in the way a child can and enabling him in this endeavour is HP’s technology.
In many ways, the film captures the true spirit of Diwali and reminds us what the festival has always stood for - giving back to society. This is what makes it all the more relevant to present times.
Ever-changing consumer habits and the current global crisis has badly hit traditional occupations. It’s not a ‘happy’ Diwali for everyone out there.
In tough times like these, all it takes is one selfless gesture on your part to light up someone else’s festivities. As they say in the film - Iss Diwali naap tol ke nahi dil khol ke khushiyan do, sirf apni nahi kisi aur ki diwali ko bhi roshan karo.
So this festive season, take some inspiration from the child in the video. Spread cheer and light around you so that someone else too can celebrate Diwali.
