Manish says that he prefers to burst a few crackers, as it is Diwali time.“Shagun ke liye thode pataakhe toh jalaate hi hain. My favourite crackers are those sky shots and after the puja, we go on the terrace and burst crackers.As a child, I was very fond of crackers. So, when I am in Gurgaon for Diwali, I become a child again. I still buy that patakhe waali bandook, and still play with it the whole day . It's something that I have been buying right since I was a kid, and even this time, I have bought it,“ he told us. Diwali is also the time when one gets to relish mithai and other fattening foods, and Manish is no exception.
"Diwali is the day I cheat. My mother gets to cook for me and on the day of Diwali, instead of the usual three meals, I have six meals, which are all fattening!“ It's not that Manish only loves the celebratory part of the festival. He told us, “I enjoy all the aspects of the festival. I like dressing up in traditional clothes and catching up with my family . While others are busy cleaning the house, my job is to decorate the house and light the diyas and candles at night."
