After a tough couple of years, the world is limping back to normalcy. The pandemic is not over, but this festive season certainly feels more cheerful than the last. In India, we celebrate Diwali (the festival of lights, food, and fireworks) and will be followed by Thanksgiving and Christmas in the rest of the world.
We at Krishagni wish everyone a happy and safe festivities!
