Diwali’s Glow: From Family Traditions to Social Media Spectacles
In “Diwali’s Glow: From Family Traditions to Social Media Spectacles,” I explore the evolution of Diwali from a cherished family celebration to a mainstream phenomenon, highlighting its dual identity that can empower yet alienate South Asian singles. As we navigate the commercialization of our traditions and the aspirational pressures of social media, it’s essential to reclaim the festival’s authenticity.

Whether hosting a potluck with friends, attending local cultural events, or creating your own festive traditions, your celebration is valid and worthy. Join me in embracing the true spirit of Diwali—one that values joy, togetherness, and the unique experiences we each bring to the holiday.
