It was the first day of Diwali and after I came home from work, I decided to open the packet of scented candles we got as a gift from office for Diwali. I had purchased glass candle holders earlier that week for Diwali, and I thought the evening was the perfect time to use them.

I had bought 12 candle holders, two for each of the two windows and the remaining for the rangoli outside the main door. I lighted the scented candles near the window and went on to add the finishing touches to the rangoli I had made at the entrance. I was filling the empty portions with flowers so that I could place the candle holders on them. Just the day before, while returning home from work, I bought marigold flowers in dark and light yellow colours, and thought that I could use the petals in experimenting with rangoli. I had planned floral rangolis for evenings and areas of the house where there wasn’t enough light to make the rangoli colours visible. On the two days that I had taken leave from work, I had decided to draw traditional rangolis with bright colours and freehand motifs. In fact, I had participated in an online contest where you had to send photos of your rangolis and lightning and you could stand a chance to win a DSLR camera! I was so excited at the chance to have my own DSLR camera that I started putting too much effort in the Diwali cleaning and the decorations.

Just as I was about to keep the candle holders around the rangoli, there was a big noise of something falling inside the house. It must be the cat, I thought, she must have entered again from the open kitchen window. Just I turned back to yell at the cat to scare her, to my horror, I saw the window curtain had caught fire. I must have forgotten to gather the curtains away from the candles kept at the window, and the breeze must have caused the curtains to catch fire. I froze at the sight of the curtains blazing with the fumes. At that moment, I forgot all about the contest and started trembling at the thought of the house being set on fire. However, within a moment, I gathered the courage to run to the wash basin. I filled the jar kept on the dining table with water and threw it at the window, repeatedly, until I was sure the fire had gone out. At the end of five minutes, the fire was out, my new silk curtains were burnt beyond repair, and the window frame was covered in soot, making the area look like an old relic destroyed in a fire.

I came back to the living room and heaved a sigh of relief, and thanked God that a major tragedy had been averted. And then, just as I was getting up to clean the mess, the neighbour’s cat jumped onto the sofa and cuddled beside me, like she always did after entering from the kitchen. Only this time, I wasn’t angry with her, because her coming in through the kitchen and pushing my coffee mugs off the shelf actually saved my life.
