Among all the things that have changed with the world over the past decades, a majority of them just can’t be undone no matter how much we try. And one among those things is the Diwali celebration from the 90s.
Diwali has been around for eons, however, the way we celebrate the festival has taken a toll invariably. And the worst part? We can do nothing about it.
Although we won’t judge if everything that has changed is for good or bad but can surely try to recall the days form the 90s when celebrating the festival of light was an entirely different experience.
1. Social media boom has brought families closer, however, it has also parted us from the endearing concept of meeting and greeting on festive occasions.

5. Thankfully, Diwali gathering is still a thing even it’s limited to one night and people playing cards and dancing instead of just talking about how beautiful life is.
6. I remember how exhausting, yet fun, it was to droll across shops with friends and families to shop for the best Diwali goodies. Today, it’s a matter of a couple of clicks.
