From the onset of Navratri to the dazzling magnificence of Diwali and the warmth of Bhai Dooj, October is a tapestry of celebrations woven with love, devotion, and boundless joy.


In this enchanting time of year, India adorns herself in vibrant colors, lights up the darkest corners, and fills the air with the fragrant promise of new beginnings. It is a period when traditions come to life, history finds expression through rituals, and the bonds of family and friendship are renewed around the auspicious flames of diyas.





A Glimpse of the Radiant Festivals in October:

Hakuna Matata

Greeting Readers Hakuna Matata It means no worries for the rest of the days Let's ride back to our childhood, where we imagined living in a house made of chocolates or can fly like a superman or can live life inside a computer (this one is my favourite) or can be a player in a video game and so on.

Even we have no idea when this race will end and where its path is going. But close your eyes and ask your self are you happy with this.

But no worries if you can't go out you can go in!  Give time
