9 Unique Ways to Celebrate Dussehra and the 9 Days of Navratri!

9 Unique Ways to Celebrate Dussehra and the 9 Days of Navratri!

With a country like India, though, there are many more ways to celebrate any festival like the Kulasekarapattinam Dasara in Tamil Nadu, which celebrates music and culture over these ten days or the Bathukamma festival of flowers in Andhra and Telangana. No matter how we celebrate our festivals, it is about family, culture, and a community coming together. It is about sharing, caring, and compassion. It's about learning something and passing on what we know. While it is always comforting to have traditions to follow and celebrate, it can also be fun to explore other ways to do celebrate. Do share with us how you celebrate your festivals. We wish you a happy Dussehra!

How to celebrate diwali with family and friends and make it shine brighter

How to celebrate diwali with family and friends and make it shine brighter

There are the eats, the diyas, and the sparkly new clothes, but what makes Diwali truly memorable is the sounds of laughter, the conversations, the nostalgia and the love that you feel from surrounding yourself with those you love and who love you. 

If you look back, you'll remember the oodles of love that oozed out of the laddoos your grandmother made. The ghee, the sugar and everything else may still be available in store-bought laddoos, but your childhood memories are a lot more delicious. Those gifts that you wrapped with and the diya painting contest of sorts you had with cousins makes the best part of diwali memories. 

These days we do not all live in the same cities as our extended families. In fact, we are scattered across the globe, but we do have our neighbors and our friends who become an instant family.
