Diwali, Apart

Diyas on your side, diyas on mine

For the Diwali you're spending on different continents — the family call, the sweets you wish you could share, the plans for next year.

How to play

  1. Each card is a memory or a plan about the Diwali you're not sharing a room for.
  2. Take turns answering; the chip shows whose turn it is.
  3. Swipe through when you're ready, or tap Skip to toss a card without answering it.

Playing apart? Play it live on a call — it lands on their phone as an invite.

A few from the deck

  • What's the first thing you'll miss about Diwali this year, now that we're not in the same place for it?
  • Describe the diya you'd light for us, if you could only light one this year.
  • What does the big evening actually look like at your place — puja or no puja, who's there, who's cooking, who's late?
  • If you could mail me one sweet from this Diwali, which one, and why that one over all the others?
