Let this Diwali, the light of Goodness drive away the Darkness and all evils that lurks in it.

Namaste India !
Hope you all are doing well and shining.

 Winters are descending upon us. Its that time of the year when the air starts turning cold and a cup of brewing tea or coffee takes a place in our lives, once again. But that's not all. Along with the smell of tea or coffee, there is a feeling of festivities in the air. A time when we break the monotony of our lives to enjoy the beautiful festival of lights. With lights shimmering all around and sweets gracing our lives, we wish you a very HAPPY DIWALI !

 AmbassadorsIN feel glad to bring to you a Diwali contest. All you have to do is dive into your creative realm and pen down a beautiful entry based on the prompts we will provide you.

You have to write a story based on the given prompts.

1. To say these last few months have been hard would be an understatement but this Diwali, a small diya lights up everything and gives you the flicker of hope.

To be surrounded by toxicity is how your last few Diwali went by, but this year instead of just cleaning your homes, you decide to clear some dust from the past.

3. Soan Papdi is a given in Diwali but who knew that a box of Soan Papdi from an unexpected person was all that you needed to bring back the light on your face.
