Aren’t you super excited with the buzz of Diwali whirring all about? It is time for some noise, fireworks, and of course lip-smacking food. Diwali is all about bringing happiness, sharing it with family and friends. But if you are miles away from your beloved family, don’t feel too low- because your roomies can make it roomy… err… hom-ey for you too!

Here’s how:

1. Decking it up

Decorating the house with flowers, décor products, candles, and other accessories enhance the atmosphere. As you are unavailable to participate actively at home, the best thing that you can do is by decorating your room with your friends and bringing a bit of home where you stay.

2. Gifting delights

3. Splurge on shopping
