I wanted to celebrate Diwali with my parents in Delhi, but I have a dog Simba here whom I have adopted and can’t leave him alone here. So I will be here in Mumbai and my parents too can’t come as my mother recently went through a heart surgery. I will be keeping a party on 21st October for my near and dear ones and the people whom I have worked with. So it’s something I will be looking forward to after so many years. Diwali is very auspicious for me. I used to read the Katha, do the Lakshmi puja, and worship in the temple with my family. Diwali is an occasion of hope and welcoming good times. This is the time when celebration’s start and welcome happiness. This time we are pandemic free so I am happy that we can go and meet the people and hug them without wearing the mask and that’s the feeling of closeness and look at their smiles without the mask. I have been missing all this. My fondest memories have been eating a lot of sweets and the freedom of doing everything and going to meet our relatives. That was the time when all of us used to be celebrating together and cracking jokes. I miss my dada and dadi the most

Diwali plans have always stayed the same since childhood. On Diwali evening we do Lakshmi Puja and Bengalis do Kali Puja at 12 o'clock at midnight. We do chauda (14) diya the pre Diwali eve where we invite the Goddess Lakshmi to come into our house and visit us and bless us. We make sweets, go to Pandals to take blessings and we do meditation so that we reach the highest vibration at that point and ask the universe to bless us with a lot of abundance and opportunities. I'm going to be In Bombay this Diwali.

“We don’t have anything major on the list. We will meet our family in Mumbai, light diyas at home, do puja, eat sweets and forget about our diet. I'm guessing it is not going to be a working Diwali. And, I think spending time with family is a celebration in today's time. We also buy new clothes, and in the evening we do Lakshmi puja and keep one of our belongings which we use everyday like our wallet, book, laptop or phone on her feet and light diyas at home. So my childhood memories have been grand in Chandigarh where we have a huge house. We decorate it with lights. We used to get tired lighting all the diyas at home in Chandigarh, it was that big. So that was a great feeling. My sister Parul and I used to wear similar dresses, like the same clothes, same colour, same fabric always.”

I'll be in Mumbai on Diwali and definitely this year's celebration is different and everybody will be very joyful and tension free. The celebration will be like before. I'm really looking forward to diwali. Significance of Diwali is that it is very important and big. It's something which signifies our tradition, our history and it is my most favourite festival. I'm always excited about Diwali. We perform Puja in our house. Puja of Maha Lakshmi and we use some eco Fire crackers. We lit alot of Diyas and decorated the entire house. It's amazing. My childhood memory regarding Diwali is not great but very sad because we were not financially very strong. I remember during Diwali I didn't have any firecrackers to enjoy and my neighbours were enjoying it and I was very sad. So I will never forget that night. But now I really enjoy and have a great time and God has made it up to me and all the sorrows, negativity, sadness associated with Diwali from my childhood has disappeared now and I'm the happiest man on Diwali.
