One of the most exciting things about Diwali are the lovely gifts. Do you believe in gifting or getting gifts during Diwali Festival?
I have never really been fond of bursting crackers though. Even as a child, the light and decorations have always fascinated me. Today, with global warming the sound and smoke rising are an environmental nuisance, hence to be avoided.

For me, this Diwali is really special as in a way like Lord Rama returned to his hometown Ayodhya after defeating Ravana, the negative. I feel a vibrational commonality in my fighting the crippling death, and now with all positivity returning to my love of acting; where I literally grew up, however fast, in the entertainment business.
