14 DIWALI 2020
Diwali this year from home. Though Diwali is that time of the year when all of the family comes together, this year the only way to celebrate it is by maintaining social distancing, wearing a mask, and not assemble in larger groups. We wish you a happy and safe Diwali with virtual parties, lots of sweets, and savories, plus unlimited fun!
Every year, we advocate taking a step towards being green. For all special occasions - be it birthdays, anniversaries, or just any festival, how about buying a plant or planting a tree? This way you are building your own garden or nursery (buy your favourite plants). When the weather permits, also plant a tree that will be special and can be a special gift for every birthday. This could easily be the best way to go green.
Send Diwali cards Go back to the days when there were no cell phones or Internet. Old fashioned can never go out of trend - especially the ones that you make yourself. Design a handmade card and send one to your near and dear ones, for something more polished, you could take a picture of your family in festive wear and send a lovely photo card.
