Human festivity

Festivals are events we wait eagerly for. It is this time of year we forget all our miseries of life and enjoy for time being. Festivals are celebrated for various reasons across various regions. Some are based on mythology while some are based on new year. Sometimes big sporting events also gets eugolised into festivity. But irrespective of the reasons festivals does bring hope and enjoy into the life of people. It helps them come out of their monotonous mundane life and see big picture, analyze where they are and where they are going.

There are various aspects of festivals that need attention. I would like to elaborate on few:

• Social: festivals are festivals because they engage society and people. We all have seen people reaching famous places and count backwards during new years. People taking bath in tomato pulp is also a huge crowd seeker. While diwali also attracts huge crowds, be it fireworks or sweet both bring people more closer.

• Political: festival is good time for people doing politics of liberal values as well as for nationalistic champions. While liberals can celebrate all festivals and enjoy being global citizens. Nationalistic politicians also score some browny points by eugolizing their great heritage and culture. But festivals does enthusiaze both opposite factions.

• Economic: festivals are a great source for economic activities. They not only provide employment for huge population but also increase equality by more income to poorer section. Let me explain with two examples: first let's consider rose day, which is important for few people. At that time of February prices of rose rises which help in farmer gaining more profits. It also increases equity of wealth as more effluent people buy roses and not so rich farmer gain from it. Second example is of diwali. On diwali million of oil lamps are lighted which are made up of soil. This not only create huge employment but also create income for poor households.

• Global: people of all religions, all regions, race ,caste and sex come together to celebrate these festivals. It helps nation come together and show solidarity with each other.

• Individual: I for personally wait eagerly for festivals. First reason is that it is holiday on these days, which I seek desperately. Secondly I have some good happy moments with my family members, due to paucity of time I have not been able to spend these days, but on festivals I ensure it. Mental health improves. We all are becoming victims of lifestyle of 21st century hence it provides much needed space to breath again and stop being factors of production.

I feel for all these reasons we must enjoy our festivals and also take part in other's happiness.
