Because here is the truth: a shower of sweets is also a shower of loss. Each piece that melts before being caught, each crumb that slips between fingers, each moment of sticky joy that cannot be preserved — these are the quiet tragedies inside the celebration. The Kari sweets shower teaches us that abundance and impermanence are the same thing. You open your mouth to the sky, and for one crystalline second, you hold the whole festival inside you. Then it dissolves, and you are left with only the scent of cardamom and the echo of laughter.
