What was the Diwali of your childhood like?

Was it about games and laughter? Maybe it meant sneaking an extra laddoo (or two), or crowding around the chaat stall at the local mela.

This year, our Delhi office brought that nostalgia back with a festive mela — filled with the familiar hum of friendly competition, childhood memories, and the unmistakable aroma of chaat and festive snacks.

Meanwhile, our Lucknow team celebrated the Joy of Giving by visiting Drishti Sansthan, a rehabilitation centre and orphanage for children with disabilities. They spent a heartwarming day with the kids and donated diapers for the little ones — a small gesture that carried immense warmth. 💖

At its core, every celebration is about the simple joy of being together. This spirit of compassion, connection, and collective action keeps us grounded — and reminds us of what truly matters.

Wishing everyone a filled with light, laughter, and love from all of us at CEEW! 🪔🌼
