Festivals are the power of a nation. Festivals are
those celebrations that bring people closer to each other and act as uniting
agents. India is a land of festivals. Throughout the year a lot of festivals
are celebrated that are based on religious as well as national events. All of
these are celebrated in full spirit and enthusiasm. The biggest festivals
commemorated in India are Dussehra, Deepawali, Eid al-Fitr, Holi, Christmas and
Baisakhi. 15th August is also a day of grand celebrations when the nation remembers
the struggle of the nation against the British. The Republic Day and Gandhi
Jayanti are also the revered days when the nation unites to remember the great
heroes. In all these festivals people forget their social and economic
backgrounds and come together for celebrating.
Life is absolutely incomplete without festivals. In
the present time when we all are extremely busy with our work these festivals
act as those agents which help us to feel energetic and forget our worries. Festivals
are also the occasions to forgive and forget all past problems. However, in the
recent times it is seen that people waste a lot of resources in the name of
festivals. Huge amounts of money are spent in organizing parties, buying
crackers and other decorative items and so on. While decoration and parties are
important parts of any celebration we should also remember that precious
resources should not be wasted. The environment should also be taken care of.
Festivals are also the times when we should do some charity work for the needy
people so that they too can enjoy the festivals. Therefore, the festivals
should be celebrated in right spirits and should be a source of enjoyment and
relaxation instead of undue wastage of resources.
