Celebrating the Spectrum Of Light - Deepavali(Diwali) : 27 October 2008
- A day to ponder/thank the Nature of Light or Deepa or Jyothi or Quanta or Photon.
Light being most fundamental for life on earth, has been revealing it mystery through various forms and helping us in every bit of thing we do every moment. Whether its Light from fluorescent lamp or Light of computer monitor screen or Laser beam of Light reading data through media head of Hard Disk or your car's head light or Sunlight or next galaxy star's light touching earth first time or light from any other source, Light continues to grace us in mystery and capturing our imagination for time immemorial.
Einstein(1879 - 1955) quoted "These days, every Tom, Dick and Harry thinks he knows what a photon is, but he is wrong. Every physicist thinks that he knows what a photon is, I spent my life to find out what a photon is and I still don't know it. All the fifty years of conscious brooding have brought me no closer to the answer to the question: What are light quanta? Of course today every rascal thinks he knows the answer, but he is deluding himself. Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insects as well as the star, Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust. We all dance to a mysterious tune intoned in the distance by an invisible piper. I believe, We all dance to a mysterious tune intoned by photon. Magic photon, Who understand the photon, will come to occupy the commanding heights of the high-tech, and seize the future trend."
As the magic of Light expands to energise high tech modern world, still it remains highly meta physical and least understood.

While modern day Scientists & Engineers continue to invent new applications of light spectrum, Ancients decided to celebrate this amazing phenomenon called Light as 'Deepavali - Spectrum of Light', to thank all who hold and shares light with us.
On this festival eve, I take this great opportunity to thank you for sharing Quanta of information and enlightening me in many ways. I wish you Great Deepavali and Wish you have colorful, vibrant experience of celebrating the magical phenonenon called Light.

With Light of Love & Gratitude
Happy Deepavali
