Festival

So Diwali came and went without much happening. Don't know why but gradually festive spirit is diminishing day by day. Is it because of the rising cost of life? Or is it simply because people are turning more practical day by day? The most acceptable reason seems to be struggles in life is leaving very little energy to enjoy the festivals with much interest. It is just that the festivals have to be celebrated as a routine. So what will happen at the end? Will it be that we will gradually stop celebrations as we are becoming more practical day by day? In our childhood, whatever little we could do, we enjoyed like anything and there was waiting for such festivals, but now I don't know what has happened to us, everything seems much of a routine thing. I still wonder where this is leading to.
