1. Lesser Diwali gifts’ distribution: gifting has become selective and more meaningful; to people who really matter; not just for the sake of it leading to jams.
2. More cosy – close Diwali get-togethers: crowd is out and close friends/family parties are in
3. Invest in Gold ETFs: its safe and predicted to rise: already around 32,000 INR
4. Its a definite NO to crackers this time: Go Green: Get LED diyas too
5. Back to Indian Mithais and delicacies: Go Desi
6. Jodhpuris jackets for men; heavy anarkali or ghagras for women with lots of Indian styled jewellery
Don’t forget to accessorise with your Anti Mosquito Patch or carry your Kachua Chhap for all you care…
7. Do your diwali cleaning/clearing the new way:
a) Donate, donate, donate
b) Go online and sell your unused items : try olx /ebay /quickr /others
