I love Diwali because we celebrate it with firecrackers, lights, sweets, and so much fun! But my mom always says, “Too many firecrackers are bad for the air,” so we try not to use too many.

Yesterday, Mom told us to clean the house really well because she said, “If the house is clean, we’ll get more blessings from God!” So, my brother Pravin and I decided to make cleaning fun. We turned on the music and started dancing and cleaning at the same time!

When we thought we were done, my brother said, “Nope! We still have to clean outside!” So he did the outside part while I helped with the inside. When Mom came home from work, we shouted, “Surprise!” She was so happy and said we did a great job. Even Dad was impressed! I felt so proud of myself.

But then Dad said, “Okay kids, now help Mom with the decorations.” I was so tired, but I still helped. My brother brought out our two disco lights (they are super cool!) and we wanted to turn them on, but Dad said, “Later, after we finish lighting the candles.”

So, we helped Mom light the diyas and candles all around the house. It looked so beautiful – tiny golden lights everywhere!

After that, it was time for the best part – firecrackers! I was so excited! Mom and Dad went out to buy more crackers, and they also got some safe ones. You know what? The harmless ones were actually more fun than the big noisy ones!

Finally, when everything was done, we switched off all the lights and turned on our disco lights. My brother and I danced like crazy in the dark room full of colourful lights. It was the most awesome Diwali ever!
