But it's sort of a nuance that I think only Indian people get, which is that culturally it's so different. in the 70s to be Bengali and be Tamil. And my dad was from more of a traditional Hindu family. My mom was also Hindu, but the way they celebrate it is so different regionally. My dad doesn't celebrate Diwali and my mom does. And my mom doesn't know about some of my dad's holidays.
