Diwali in Tapovan: Ten Little Lights Beyond Diyas

The Ganga at dusk — shimmering like she lit herself.

The chai stall flame — steady, no matter who’s debating truth.

A TTC graduate’s smile — brighter than enlightenment certificates.

Café fairy lights — tangled in guitars, stories, and mild confusion.

The painter’s fingers — dipped in colour and quiet rebellion.

The poster walls — glowing with every new workshop, old dream.

The mountain sunset — the hill’s version of a thousand diyas.

And finally, that one silent breath — when even the wind pauses to listen.
