In America, Diwali does not always arrive with a street full of fireworks. It arrives with a shoe rack overflowing by the front door, a rangoli chalked near the entrance, and a kitchen counter buried under samosas, mithai boxes and one very serious Tupperware of chole. The house party is the diaspora’s Diwali, and it […]

Navratri in the Netherlands has grown into something the Indian and South Asian diaspora genuinely looks forward to.

Durga Puja goes beyond just four days on the calendar. It is the rhythm of dhaak from the next lane, the smell of dhunuchi, endless rounds of adda, the delicious bhog khichdi, late-night pandal hopping and that one friend who somehow has a completely new outfit for every outing.
