"He who binds to himself a joy

Does the winged life destroy

But he who kisses the joy as it flies

Lives in eternity’s sun rise" --William Blake

दीपावलि: शुभा भूयात्
सर्वेषां सुखदायिनी ।
दुरितं दारयन्ती सा
प्रकाशयतु जीवनम् ।।

May this Diwali be bright for you all
Bringing happiness to everyone
Tearing apart the darkness
May it illuminate our lives
