Tina Dutta: Diwali as a child meant new clothes, lots of chocolates and mithai (sweets). I remember as a child, once my mom bought an expensive dress for Diwali and I was really excited with the pink dress and flaunted it to everyone.
Shivin Narang: Every Diwali is memorable for me. But I still remember the time, about five years back, when I bought a lot of crackers. In Delhi, we literally have a competition of 'who will burst more crackers'! These are some special memories that I cherish.
Shashank Vyas: I remember seeing my mother prepare sweets and snacks for Diwali every time I got back from school. I even tried to cajole her to allow me to taste the sweet treats, but she always made me wait till all the rituals were over.
Sneha Wagh: Most memorable Diwali was when I was in college and I had burnt a lots of crackers with my neighbours.
Jasvir Kaur: I remember helping my mother in making sweets for Diwali and exchanging them with our neighbours. It was really special and I miss it.
Simple Kaul: My most memorable Diwali was when I was 16 years old because my dad bought a new car in my name. So that was the best Diwali ever!
