DIWALI MEMORIES ARE...

From my childhood, when Diwali was so special for us. We used to get new clothes and bursting crackers was a thrill. I remember after buying crackers they were kept in the sun so they would be even more effective, and with the crackers I also used to sit in the sun!

I LOOK FORWARD TO DIWALI BECAUSE...

It is the festival of lights. With such a variety of lamps and lights all over, I enjoy the brightness. Moreover, I savor the delicious delicacies in Diwali.

MY INDULGENCE THIS FESTIVE SEASON IS GOING TO BE...

Meeting people and having a good time

DIWALI THEN AND NOW…
