Diwali giving: Don't ignore these red flags
Bala is helping decorate for Diwali when he comes across his old football boots, a stack of comics hes outgrown and a torch that still works. His mother asks what he plans to do with them. Nothing, theyre taking up space, he says. Then he remembers Aisha next door, whos been asking her parents for a torch for weeks. Bala looks at the pile differently now.
