Food festival and pets are closely related to 'home'.
Food and festivals are intertwined throughout the world. India is a land of festivals. Some festivals are provincial while some are national. Among them Dewali, Holi ( festivals of colour), Durgapuja and X-mas are celebrated with pomp and splendour throughout India. They are declared and marked in calendar as national holidays.
Most of the global festivals come within October to December and related to the position of moon. Like Dewali ,Jewish Hannukkah, X-mas, China's lantern festival :all are 'festival of lights' and connected to religion trailing interesting stories. Food, and music also are closed to festivals. variety of Sweet items ,fruits and nuts are offered .Festivals are not only center of social gathering of friends and family but also of business. leading to commercial gain . On the occasion people shop new clothes ,shoes cosmetics jewelry and lots of gifts for friends and family. Thus ultimately they add to country's economic growth.
Pets are related to home, next to food and festivals.They have been integral part of most family, whether living in city or in urban area. Among pets dogs, cats and birds are popular both as useful and as companion. Senior people are fond of pets as companion, as their children are away from them . With the absence of three generations living together, value and status of pets have been upgraded. Pets also like to be pampered. Cats don't need to chase behind any mouse for food ;They get nutritious food from pet's shop; so are the dogs. Instead of protecting the house from miscreants staying awake throughout the night, they feel sleepy like young school kids in early night .They are kept as owner's pride, as if decoration pieces to beautify the home and not for utility as they used to be.
In our childhood we were fond of reading comics of 'Aronyadev'(god of jungles) where all animals live peacefully bonded with love; lamb and lion used to drink water from the same lake.
It seems we are coming near to that state when animals will be devoid of animosity and achieve divinity.
How long the human specie will take time to be promoted to become. such pet animals? This mundane earth with lots of contradictions and confusions will turn into heavenly abode , not in dream or conference but in reality ?
