Crown The Brown: Diwali comes but once a year, but the memories never fade! With Diwali lighting up our homes, we decided to share some amazing memories. Our Crown The Brown Community shared their fondest Diwali memories, some in childhood spirit and some recent memories. We could not help but share these awesome and loving memories with our readers! Hence, here is what some of our members had to say:

“I got to spend Diwali with my family in Kasaragod (border of Kerala) back in 2008. It was so beautiful.”

“Our fondest Diwali memories were the ones we spent together. They were also the first ones we spent away from home. It almost felt sad at the beginning, especially because Durban is a whole vibe during Diwali. It was rather quiet in Grahamstown, where we were studying.”
“By the second year we did it, thought it felt very special. We had our closest friends over to celebrate with us. This was even more special because none of them had ever celebrated Diwali before and there weren’t too many Brown kids in Gtown. We got dresses up, lit some sparklers, took some cool photos together and watched Devdas for the first time. Well their first time, we mean: it wasn’t even our first time for the year.”
“The thing about Deepavali is that is just feels like home. So i can be a very difficult time if you aren’t actually at home. Realizing that there’s a little bit of your home with you wherever you go, that has to be our fondest memory.”

“My favourite memories of Deepavali is lighting the lamps around the house in the evening. Eating all the yummy sweet meats while waiting for the rain to stop, because it ALWAYS rains on Deepavali! Showers of blessings!”
