"A Bronx Tale" is a compelling crime and coming-of-age drama directed by and starring Robert De Niro, released in 1993. The film is a powerful narrative set in the 1960s Bronx, New York, revolving around the life of a young Italian-American boy, Calogero Anello, who is torn between his admiration for a local mob boss, Sonny, and his hard-working, honest father, Lorenzo. The story kicks off when Calogero witnesses Sonny, the charismatic yet feared gangster, commit a murder. When the police arrive, Calogero chooses not to identify Sonny as the shooter, beginning a complex relationship between the boy and the mobster.

Deepavali, the luminous festival of lights, is a recollection of vivid memories, woven with the golden threads of joy and the colors of tradition. In my childhood, the festival was synonymous with the journey to my native village in the Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu. The anticipation would build up days in advance, as we prepared to leave the city's concrete embrace for the open arms of the countryside. Arriving in the village was like stepping into a different realm, where the air was scented with the earthy petrichor of the first rain on parched soil and the smoky sweetness of bursting crackers. The streets, aflutter with excitement, were lined with houses glowing with oil lamps, their flickering lights dancing like spirits of ancestors come to join the celebration. Mornings would start with the symphony of temple bells and the chorus of birds, as the village woke up to adorn itself. We would wear new clothes, the fabric still holding the warmth of the sun from dry
