This Diwali, let us celebrate not just the Lakshmi in women but also the freedom and ambitions they embody. Let us celebrate womanhood existing in different forms. 

Saving environment is not just about a day but about every day. Surely we can reduce the number of crackers we burn or switch to eco-friendly crackers. But banning it completely might not be a logical solution.

The cherry on the cake – or rather the silver on the kaju barfi – is that Kaling, in broaching the subject of sweets, invited a response from Kamala Harris’ niece as well.

Our Diwali celebrations will depends on relationship they have with google meet and zoom.

However, the pandemic has dampened the usual buzz in the market during Diwali. The sales of decorative stuff, diyas etc for Diwali has suffered a loss.

Why should women be responsible to pray and wish for the welfare of the whole family, but not for themselves?  Let us change the way we perceive festivals.

Known as a festival of light, it never fails to bring a heartwarming moment of togetherness, a sparkle in the eyes and soul as the diyas and lanterns flicker and a strong feeling of peace and new beginning.

Instead of bursting crackers, the residents have planned a special treat for their fellow society members. Different types of stalls will be put up by the children followed by games, Diwali party and dinner where they can enjoy with their friends and family.

From lightening earthen diyas to using electric diyas and fairy lights, from visiting each other’s homes being reserved to one’s own house only, a lot, definitely, has changed

I would give away anything to live old memories again but until then, let me prepare myself to deal with the fact that the only day-off I get will now be filled with festival madness. That’s Diwali as adults for you.
