He says: “Diwali is all about celebration. And lights. We would celebrate with fireworks, delicious sweets, exchanging gifts and smiles all around. We would celebrate to health, relationships, wealth and ambitions. My favorite memory of Diwali is from my childhood. Our street would be lit up with candle light. We decorated our own house and balcony with hundreds of candles. It was a serene and beautiful scene followed by the music of the evening puja and the cacophony of fireworks.”
