Diwali is a celebration of the victory of Light over Darkness, of Hope over Despair, of Good over Evil. We, the Residents of Emerald Court decided to celebrate Diwali like a Vijay Diwas, to celebrate the safe and successful demolition of the infamous Twin Towers. Our success came after a long and arduous fight and achieved, what was considered impossible. Hence a celebration on a Grand Scale was needed.
The date 19 October was selected and the Event was meticulously planned with the theme साहसेवसतिजयश्रीः … विजयसाहसमें… There was folk Music of Rajasthan by none other than Anwar Khan Langa and his talented troupe. There was a Sand Art show which gave the Inside Story of the Twin Tower Demolition in chronological order, right from 2006 when the Project started till the time of demolition on 28 August.
The depiction on Sand created by Sand Kaushik mesmerized the crowd and the Residents could see their story and relate to it. There was a Laser Show by Atul & Team. The Laser Animation Show depicted the team work, collaboration, camaraderie of Residents, neighboring Societies and all concerned Agencies and was an acknowledgement for the collective efforts of all and looked beyond the demolition for carrying out the work in making the Society a better place.
There were Laser Musicals which had very relevant musical themes from well known tracks of Mission Impossible, Good Bad Ugly, Earth etc. The show concluded with a Tiranga theme and the patriotic fervor engulfed the surroundings.
The Board made a Presentation on the Lagaan theme which enthralled the Audience. What was most hearting to see was the recognition and acknowledgment to imminent senior lawyers who were involved in the case and senior citizens of the Legal Team who were instrumental in the legal victory. There was also appreciation for the members from neighboring Societies who were guests. All neighboring Societies deserve our thanks and gratitude for standing by us in the hour of need.
The enormity of what we all had achieved, finally began to sink in. We were not only witness to History being done but instrumental in creating it. We have shown the world that if the people stand united and together for a just cause, their collective will and determination always prevails. In future, corrupt Builders and their nexus with corrupt officials will think twice before swindling the hard-earned money of genuine home buyers.
Satyamev Jayate!!
