Fusion of 3F:
FUN, FOOD and FESTIVAL, looks exciting right...
Today our one more traditional, energy driven festival of devotion, dance and music has started: Navratri. Now a days celebration has taken its own style. Traditional festivals are celebrated with modern twists.
All festivals are celebrated with
Fusion of 3F:
Fun,
Food
&
Festive mood.
Festivals today are no longer confined to society premises or family gatherings: they have evolved into large-scale events organized by corporates, sponsors and public personalities. This professional touch has amplified the festive spirit by adding more fun-filled activities and delicious food experiences.
Fun activities like theme-based events, DJ draw the crowd, while the food aspect ensures people need not worry about cooking or stepping out after the celebration. Dress code, decorations, environment brings Festive mood. Together these elements enhance the festive mood.
On one side, it’s a joyful combination, on the other it has also become a thriving business.
We are now so accustomed to this “F³ style of celebration” (Fun, Food, Festive) that if even one element is missing, people feel something is lacking.
In earlier days, celebrations were rooted in tradition and family bonding, prayers at home, rituals in society and customs that held meaning. These practices instilled values in children and brought families closer.
Today however celebrations are often fragmented: parents, friends and kids celebrate separately, and the essence of tradition is fading. Many children hardly know the stories or cultural significance behind festivals, nor do they feel the need to learn.
Festivals are often treated simply as reasons to celebrate.
It is perfectly fine to move with the modern ways of celebration.
But
we must remain conscious; our involvement should be balanced.
Children must also learn what to do and what not to do and understand that festivals are not just about fun and food but also about culture, values and togetherness.
Navaratri is a time to honour Goddess Durga, celebrate the victory of good over evil and seek her blessings for strength, wisdom and prosperity in our lives. Let's come together these Navratri for Ras-Garba with family, friends and enjoy carnival of F3.
Happy Navratri Friends...
