Diwali 2019: Fun ways to celebrate the festival if you are ALONE and away from your family this year

The festival of lights is just around the corner and there’s no better way to celebrate it other than with your family. The festival has a strong homecoming tradition with a lot of people visiting their homes during the festive season. But, not a lot of people live with their families or have the privilege to travel back to their home for every Diwali. Don’t worry! While you are alone, you can still make the most of it. Here are some fun ways to celebrate Diwali by your self.

Pre-Diwali rituals

Pre-Diwali ritual and preparations are all that makes Diwali fun. Start by cleaning your space up and buying new things for yourself. You can also light up the space for a more homely vibe. Make your little rented flat feel like home so that there is a very small chance that you’ll miss home.

Do a small pooja

What makes Diwali feel like Diwali is everyone assembling at one place to do pooja. Carry a ritual at your place and worship God because Sanskaars are important, aren’t they?

Host a card party

What if you do not have your family by your side, you still have friends. Host a small card party and invite all your friends over. More than the game, you will definitely enjoy their company. Won’t you?

Buy food and sweets for underprivileged

No better way to celebrate Diwali than to bring smiles to other’s faces, especially the ones who are less fortunate. Even if you have done this before, do it again. It is their Diwali aswell and you doing a little for them will bring big smiles on their faces.

Video Call

Now, if you are missing your family, do not forget to connect with them and see their happy faces over the phone. While this will make you miss home, you will get immense happiness just looking at all the festivities at home. How are you planning to celebrate this Diwali?
