Diwali is just around the corner, and preparations for it have probably begun at your home. One has to clean up every nook and corner of the house, go out shopping for new clothes (yay!), invite guests and relatives to stay for the long weekend, prepare a bevy of yummy traditional sweets, arrange for puja materials, start on the rangoli… the list just goes on and on. No doubt, though, this time, is incredibly memorable and fun.
