We would have a Diwali pooja, and on Ganesh Chaturthi we would always meet as a family, Karva Chauth too is a big one. I guess our Indian heritage, traditions and culture have always been a big part of our life."

The entire family gets dressed together. All of us do that and have a good time. A typical Diwali celebration looks exactly like this in my family. There is pooja which happens during the day at either our office or house. For that, I have always seen mom wear a traditional Pattu saree, we would wear pattu pavadai for the pooja. Then for the dinner we would have fun at dadi's house, eating pulao, rajma, the Kapoor khandaan delicacies. I might have missed the dinner at times, but I have never missed the pooja."
