Working holiday for Addy Raj

How do you intend to celebrate Christmas this year?

I’m pure Indian, so Christmas isn’t really a big festival for me. I’m not a Christian. But we recently celebrated [the Hindu festival of lights called] Diwali, which is the biggest festival of India.

It’s like Christmas, but it has no fixed date and is celebrated according to the lunar cycle. It commemorates the victory of good over evil.

We’ll be working during the holidays. But if we take a break from taping our show (“Meant to Be”), I wish my parents would visit me here. I’d love to show them around. —OLIVER PULUMBARIT
