I perfer to use the term Deepavali! It is a great time to connect with Hindu friends with greetings & well wishes. Prefer to stay at home as US markets are open.
On workdays, I eat oats at home. For lunch used Koufu app or timbre app to get 10% discount. Fishball noodle around $5. For dinner Cai fan can keep below $5 as I am in a mature estate.
