Diwali 2015: And the lights went out

Diwali, 2015

The boyfriend and I went for dinner to Shiv Sagar in Juhu. Ordered a chhola bhatura for myself, while he called for a cheese masala dosa. Could barely finish half of our respective dishes, got it packed, paid 1000 bucks and started to move out.
Wished the guard Happy Diwali as he opened the door for us.
The moment we stepped out this tiny little child, only in rags ran up to me and started tagging at the packed food, Gave it to her, watched her eat hungrily through the already half eaten dosa and bhatura.

Diwali had begun to seem bright till then and in a moment the lights went out.
