Episode 16: 'Tis our favorite season—let's talk Indian festivals

In this episode, to mark the occasion of one of India's most beloved festivals, Ganesh Chaturthi, we talk about the mega culture surrounding the festival season in India.  From centuries-old folklore, varied festival foods that take hours of preparation, we reminisce traditions and discuss how we are making new ones in our current homes far away from our motherland. We also share our favorite childhood memories, and realize the debt we owe to our parents who kept our up spirits up during the long holiday season. Good 1: Evil 0.
