Diwali here, far away from the motherland is quite tame. It involves heading to a friend's place for dinner and some Indian-esque dressing up. Back home, Diwali was a week/ two week long celebration involving lakshmi puja, a week long marriage of tulsi to krishna, gorging on sweets and lots of noise and sparkle. So I promptly agreed when Krithika asked me to come up with a Diwali wishlist from products launched by Shopo exclusively for Diwali. As an NRI, all I can do is dream about an extravagant Diwali, so dream a little with me?
Diwali is all about....
An invitation for an evening of celebrations
An evening brightened by the soft light of candles/ diyas
An excuse to dress up: Sigh... This truly is a wishlist. I love sarees, but never get to wear them here.
A bit of sparkle, a bit of bling
And of course, an excuse to re-decorate your home!
Love what you see, head here to Shopo to check out their Diwali offerings.
~ Happy Diwali ~
