Today is Karvachauth and I realized this yesterday.. thanks to an email from a friend asking when is Karvachauth this year. Dusshera came and went by. Diwali is only 10 days away...
In US, Indian festivals just seem come and go past. Unless you are really involved with an Indian community which is hard for me, as I rarely go to temple and my husband is American. I really miss the festivals and all the exciting days leading up to the festival. The food, the decorations, the shopping, all was so much fun. And the lack of it makes me sad.
Yes there is Thanksgiving, yes there is Christmas but nothing compares to Holi and Diwali now, right ?

Vent it out !!
Why do some people do not vent ? Whether it is about personal issues or work issues or school issues, some people forget that how much venting helps.
I have met so many people in my life who either don't vent or unfortunately do not have good sources to vent.
At work my boss encourages that we vent to him (ofcourse except for when we have to vent about him :P). But it is such a good therapy, specially because he is aware of what we are venting about and sometimes has very useful insight. Sometimes during venting u realize how ridiculous you are being in a certain thinking - its like brainstorming :). I vent about my boss to my husband, I vent about my husband to my girlfriends and so on and so forth.
Though one has to be careful about who to vent to and how much. You do not want to be the person who when enters the room, people go : "Oh here's the whiner!!" .
But some people just do not understand the importance of venting. They keep all this negative energy inside them and suddenly one day they snap !! And when the snap they do so much damage to themselves its unbelievable.
If you do not have a person to vent it out to... write a blog (har har !!) and vent it out !!
