The event
of Diwali is not complete, till there isn’t a sweet.
When we were
kids, our Mother used to prepare so many sweets at home; but now our kids
aren’t enjoying the same. So, this Diwali, give your children a glimpse of your
childhood’s Diwali. So, this Diwali- Kuch
achcha ho jaaye, kuch meetha ho jaaye, jisme Maa ke hath ka pyar bhi ho.
