Celebrating Festivals at Home, Virtually

Last year has been quite rough for all of us. Just like every other aspect of life,  we found ways to celebrate our precious moments of life with our family. Regardless of the harsh conditions, we didn’t stop from adapting to the present scenario and starting new traditions.

2020 might not have been as joyful as the resolutions we made, but there are few joyful memories as the previous years in our life.

We sure missed the festive beauty of meeting people and spending time with friends and family under one roof. Nevertheless, we made private gatherings an option in meetings. Of course, everything has its pros and cons. The cons were the limitations of people.

Games being an integral part of festivals, we used to enjoy them with our close cousins and relatives! To continue the tradition, we  played numerous online games with each other.

We didn’t get proper supplies for our festive decorations, and what is the use of festivals without decorations? To spike up the mood, we made decorations on our own. Spending time with family was a beautiful memory.

Hey, let me remind you no festival is actually complete without a lavish feast. Cooking together filled with recipes of love was worth it right?

While in the present moment everything will return to normal in a few months, we might have to take precautions. We handled the bitter year 2020 with a lot of creativity and motivation.
