Diwali known to all as “The festival of lights” is much more than just that. It is the celebration of the homecoming of Lord Ram, a glimpse into the Ramayan.
It is a time for sharing, for happiness, joy and togetherness. Once again the Carmel family celebrated Diwali in an enthusiastic way with colourful stage décor, diyas, rangoli, lanterns etc. The primary and secondary school were privileged to have, Dr. Muralidharan, an oncologist and Dr. Seemant Raizada an ophthalmologist at Al Bahar Eye Centre to grace the occasion.
As it is with every auspicious day the programmes began with a prayer followed by the recitation of the Holy Quran. The students put up fabulous skits and dances and to add a bit more colour, they had a poetry recitation “Diwali Aiyee” bringing to light the activities on Diwali.
Diwali just like the proverbial Alladin’s lamp has a truly magical touch. May this light kindle in our lives -peace, joy and happiness and spread across the land.
