FESTIVITIES<br />

Celebrating Togetherness<br />

Shikha Dahiya, 2nd Year, COE<br />

Gifts for people who are in need<br />

Your bright room already has enough light, light a candle in the gloom<br />

instead. Every year you spend money on buying gifts for your relatives<br />

and friends who are already doing well in their lives. Drop the formalities<br />

and buy something for the needy. That kid at the red light doesn’t<br />

know the true meaning of the festival of lights. Help him understand<br />

that by lightening up his day.<br />

Unleash creativity<br />

Rather than buying the wall hangings and bandhanwar from the market, add<br />

a personal touch to the decorations. Sit together with your family members or<br />

friends and shape your imagination into the adornments you would love to<br />

decorate your home with.<br />

Cook, bake and share<br />

Cook something with your friends, go out and share it with the ones who are<br />

deprived of a proper meal. It would not only satiate their hunger, but also infuse<br />

them with tons of happiness and joy.<br />

Visit an old age home or an orphanage<br />

Make someone’s lonely day special. Decorate their space with candles and<br />

their lives with your presence.<br />

Take care of the stray animals<br />

Avoid bursting crackers. The noise scares the animals. Do not tease the stray<br />

animals, nor let others do that. They may run into traffic out of fear, and get<br />

injured. Your fun must not cost a poor creature its life. If you have to burst<br />

crackers, then restrict yourself to a centralized location and keep the animals<br />

away from the place during the fireworks.<br />
