Fondly remembering the old Diwali tradition. All of us will be anxiously waiting to wear the new clothes to burst different types of crackers to taste yummy bakshanams. I remember bursting cracker under a half coconut shell. As the cracker bursts the coconut shell will be tossed up in air. Bros compete with each other as whose shell went up highest. That old pomp and cheer of Diwali clearly missing nowadays. Government adding to woe by specifying time limit. May be its a limited edition Diwali. In this old song sivaji ganesan brings about beautifully the family joy and festive mood. Diwali greetings to all buddies. அந்த நாள் ஞாபகம் நெஞ்சிலே வந்த தே நண்பனே. இந்த நாள் அன்று போல் இன்பாமாய் இல்லையே அது ஏன் ஏன் நண்பனே.

The breakdown of joint family system has taken away the spirit of Diwali.
