Listen to their story

Today is Diwali, which is one of my favorite celebrations. I have invited some of my non-Indian friends. They’ve been to my house before and eaten my home-cooked food, but Diwali preparation is very different. I’m so excited.

When I came from India, I didn’t have a family here, so I formed these relationships, so they’re extra special. Today’s meal is all vegetarian and some of my friends are carnivores. I hope they’ll love it.

Honestly, this day does not require mental preparation. I just feel so enthusiastic about it and so full of life that it just comes naturally. My friends are truly my family.
