What's your favorite childhood Holi memory?Holi was always a mixed bag – school tests during the festival were a buzzkill! By the time I got home, all my friends were already leaving, and the excitement was gone. But one year, my cousins surprised me by picking me up from school, and we continued celebrating Holi together. It made me so happy; it was the best Holi ever!

Which traditional Holi sweet is your absolute favorite?

Being Sindhi means having mountains of 'Giyars' for Holi! It's like a jalebi, but even more delicious. Sindhis and their sweet tooth, right? Giyars are the perfect way to satisfy it! My Nani always made them at home, even if we could order from a store. Now, my mom and aunts carry on that tradition. We just can't get enough of "Nani ke haath ka Giyar"!

What's one Holi tradition passed down in your family?

Holi used to be a big family gathering at Nani's house. Now, everyone has their own friend groups and celebrations. It's a little bittersweet, but it's nice to see everyone finding their own way to celebrate.

What's the most epic Holi celebration you've had with friends?

Holi is always so much fun, but that one time my friends and I hopped parties till sunset was extra special. We were covered in colorful gulal, laughing and dancing. It felt like we were all part of one big, happy family. It was the sweetest kind of chaos!
