Diwali bole toh: As a child, it meant 20 days of holidays, eating lots of mithai and delicious food. Now, it means reconnecting with friends and bargaining to get a day's holiday!
Ritual talks: I love making rangoli with flowers and tying a toran on my door. I don't like colours so much, so I prefer using flowers for decoration. This is one custom that I can never think of missing.
Wish list: I have a couple of wishes. First is a five-karat diamond solitaire ring. Second, I would love to have a home theatre system and a popcorn-making machine in a separate room. Lastly, I would like to go on a three-day vacation with all my school and college friends whom I've lost touch with.

Diwali bole toh: Putting up little lanterns across the house, wearing new clothes and being in a festive mood.
Ritual talks: As a child, I would draw Goddess Lakshmi's footsteps right from the entrance of our house to the throne of the Goddess. It's a traditional ritual in our family and even now I make these symbolic steps from what we call 'ghol' (a mixture of flour and rice powder).
Wish list: I have never asked for anything. Even as a child, I was happy and content with whatever I had. I am a very religious person and I thank God for whatever blessings he has showered upon me
