200 students celebrated digital Diwali
Travel restrictions and limited social activities affected this year’s Diwali festival of lights. In order to keep spirits up, the Indian Student Association (ISA) in Delft therefore organised a digital Diwali festival. On Saturday 28 November, over thirty participants performed as more than 200 students enjoyed the festivities through a livestream. There was even the possibility to have the Indian delicacy ‘Biryani’ delivered to your home.
“Diwali is about that feeling of togetherness and secureness. But in these times having your family around while celebrating the festivities is a luxury”, says board member Adithya Eswaran. “We appreciate how students are still battling to keep their lives vibrant in these challenging times following the current regulations. So, by organising Diya (Digital Diwali), we were able to lift spirits, come together and celebrate the new normal way.” (MvdV)
