I spent the afternoon baking traditional sweets, filling the house with the scent of cardamom and ghee that reminds me of my grandmother. Even though I am miles away from my hometown, these familiar smells make me feel like I am right back in her warm kitchen. Dhanteras is a bridge that connects us to our ancestors and reminds us to carry their blessings into our modern lives. I hope your day is as sweet as the treats on your plate and as bright as the evening stars.
