Why are we losing the Joy of Festivals since recent years!!! This Diwali, I noticed a sentiment expressed by many: “𝐘𝐚𝐚𝐫, 𝐃𝐢𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐢 𝐤𝐢 𝐯𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐡𝐢 𝐚𝐚 𝐫𝐚𝐡𝐢 𝐡𝐚𝐢.” It made me reflect on our changing perspectives. 1 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬: As children, festivals filled us with pure excitement and emotion. 2. 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Today, the constant supply of content often overshadows genuine experiences. Here’s what I’ve concluded: 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Distinguish between what you have to do and what you want to do. Example : Post pictures if you are happy to do it, just do not feel obligated to do so. 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲: Spend quality time with family—play cards, some talks with cousins and even carrom will work. Let’s not lose sight of the little joys that truly matter! 🌼

Embracing Light Over Darkness: Connecting Halloween and Diwali As we navigate through the end of October and the beginning of November, two vibrant festivals light up our calendars: Halloween and Diwali. At first glance, they may seem worlds apart—one is a Western celebration of costumes and candies, the other an Eastern festival of lights and prayers. Yet, both share a profound common theme: the triumph of light over darkness. Halloween, rooted in ancient Celtic traditions, marks a time when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest. Historically, people lit bonfires and carved lanterns to ward off evil spirits, using light as a protective force against the unknown darkness. Diwali, celebrated by millions across the globe, symbolizes the victory of good over evil. Families illuminate their homes with diyas (oil lamps), fireworks burst in the sky, and there is a collective embrace of knowledge dispelling ignorance. What can we learn from these traditions? Overcoming Challenges: Just as light overcomes darkness, we too can overcome obstacles in our professional and personal lives. Challenges are temporary shadows that can be illuminated with perseverance and positive action. Cultural Connectivity: Recognizing the shared themes in diverse traditions enriches our global perspective. It reminds us that despite different backgrounds, we often strive for similar ideals. Embracing Change: Both festivals occur during seasonal transitions—Halloween at the end of the harvest and Diwali at the new moon. It's a perfect time to reflect on past achievements and set new goals. Community and Togetherness: These celebrations bring people together. In a professional context, fostering a sense of community can lead to stronger teams and more collaborative environments. Innovation and Creativity: From carving intricate pumpkins to creating elaborate rangoli designs, creativity is at the heart of both festivals. Embracing creativity can lead to innovative solutions and fresh ideas in our work. As we celebrate, let's take a moment to appreciate the shared human experience these festivals represent. Let's strive to be the light that dispels darkness in our spheres of influence—whether that means mentoring a colleague, volunteering in the community, or simply spreading positivity. Wishing everyone a Happy Halloween and a Joyous Diwali! May these festivals inspire us to bring light into the lives of others. #LightOverDarkness #CulturalConnections #Halloween #Diwali #Leadership #Community #Inspiration

Diwali Reminds Us: Balance, Connection, and Joy Matter More Than the Daily Hustle Celebrating festivals isn’t just a break—it’s a chance to rediscover what truly fuels us. Imagine letting go of the grind for a moment and feeling the warmth of family, the joy of traditions, and the spark of creativity that only comes when we truly unplug (even if it's not productive) Here’s why festivals like Diwali are essential for us: 1. Real Connection 🌸: Time with loved ones, heart-to-heart conversations, and shared memories. 2. Mental Refresh 🧘♂️: A pause from routines that revives our minds and souls. 3. Meaningful Perspective ✨: Festivals remind us of what truly matters beyond our to-do lists. 4. Creative Energy 🎉: Moments of joy open doors to fresh, exciting ideas. 5. True Balance ⚖️: Celebrating helps us live a life we don’t need to escape from. How do you make time for what matters? *** Follow and Connect Siddhant Chauhan

Celebrating #Diwali is a #Marketing Gimmick? Or is it More Than That? Every year, as Diwali approaches, we’re bombarded with #promotions, flash #sales, and “exclusive” deals. From clothes to cars, everyone has something to sell, with “festive offers” becoming a buzzword. And let’s be real —marketers have tapped into our emotions, making festivals like Diwali a prime time for consumption. Why? Because people need a reason to buy, and what better reason than in the name of puja, #tradition, and family gatherings? ➡But here's the twist: While companies may use festivals as a #strategy to increase #sales, THE TRUTH IS Diwali and other festivals are so much more than a #shopping occasion. Whether we buy into the sales or not, festivals help us remember our roots. They’re a chance for families to reconnect, communities to come alive, and age-old customs to pass down through generations. Without these festivals, where would we see our traditions, hear our stories, or feel the bonds that make us who we are? Celebrating isn't just a trend; it's a thread that ties us to a vibrant, shared past. So yes, marketing may play a part, but it’s the human spirit of Diwali—the diya-lit homes, the laughter of family, the prayers for prosperity—that makes it truly special. In the end, Diwali isn’t in the #discounts. It’s in the moments we create, the values we cherish, and the light we share. So, celebrate, buy or don’t buy—but let’s keep the spirit of our culture alive.

Is the Magic of Festivals Fading in the Face of Continuous Sales? As we approach Diwali, one of the most cherished festivals in India, I've been reflecting on how the landscape around these celebrations has changed. Diwali used to be a time of anticipation and excitement—families preparing for weeks, looking forward to the joy of gathering, gifting, and celebrating together. But in recent years, I’ve noticed something that has me questioning whether we, as businesses, are contributing to the fading novelty of festivals. With continuous sales, discounts, and promotional events running almost year-round, has the specialness of festival seasons, like Diwali, lost its shine? At Mensoo, we’ve always focused on aligning our collections with festivals and special occasions, offering customers the chance to embrace the spirit of celebration through their style. But with Diwali sales blending into an endless cycle of promotions, I wonder if we’ve reduced the festival to just another sale period. Have we unintentionally dulled the excitement of festival shopping, which once held so much meaning for customers? I’d love to hear from fellow founders on this topic. Do you feel the constant sales have impacted the novelty of festivals? How do you balance the need for business growth with preserving the special essence of these occasions? Let’s start a conversation about how we can collectively rethink the way we approach these festive seasons. Looking forward to your thoughts! #Diwali2024 #FestivalMarketing #FounderThoughts #Mensoo

Managing festivals and client work can be hard! (Solopreneurs, does this ring a bell?) It's Diwali time in India- the festival of lights. While I have always been a system lover, festivals catch me off guard. I find myself in a constant battle between deadlines and festivity. That's exactly when I realized that I need a system for festive seasons too. This would help me: 1.Enjoy the festivals 2.Adhere to deadlines 3.Stay sane and sorted Here's how I create a festive-work system: - Use Cosmofeed to plan bookings and sort calendar - Assign my own deadlines to projects - Use Otter.ai for active note-making - Add festive breaks to my calendar You can enjoy the most of both worlds, if you have a system in place. Festivals are the best time to remind yourself that you need a sustainable system. It's okay if you've worked till 5 am last night and woke up at 8 today for Diwali. Take this post as a sign to build a system for 2025 festivities. P.S. Are you Team Kaju Katli or Team Coconut Laddoo? #Diwali #festival #linkedin #system #deadlines
