That is precisely what I had in mind too. As a child the smell of the new dress during Pujo used to be so exciting. So happy that you had similar thoughts as well. 🙂
😊 Yess…and about good food too. When I was a kid, there was not enough money to eat out and festivals always meant mothers having to spend extra hours in kitchen, preparing traditional.sweets for the family as well as for friends who would drop in. Festivals always meant celebration…getting out of the ordinary, mundane chores for a few days, be it in the form of good food, or clothes or extra hours spent with friends. 😊
