Bring smile to these people on Diwali
During the festival of Diwali in India there are lot of people in various domain, who help us to celebrate the festival at the cost of their own family time. Be a Santa Claus for them, let’s bring smile to these people on Diwali.
Food / Pizza Delivery Delivery Guys
Even on the holidays, we order food from various chains like Pizza joints. With many food service delivery apps, expect more people working around Diwali time. Some people, especially bachelors are at the mercy of these guys.
This Diwali give them a tip and give them sweets if they come to deliver food to you
Shopping mall and Retail outlet employees
As Diwali is the festival when we pray to Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, so it is customary that most of the shops remain open even during the festival. A special Puja is performed on this day. While the owner is running the business but he also needs support from his staff to run the show. Their staff and mall employees also work on Diwali
You must appreciate their support
Doctors and Hospital Employees
The hospital needs to work 24X7 in case of any emergency. Diwali is no different than any other day to them. Although all staff may not be working but a hospital cannot afford to shut down. They have to be more cautious during Diwali as some cases of fire injuries might be reported.
God forbid, but in case of an emergency they will be there to save you.
Police Officers
You would know what I mean if you have seen the life of a police officer closely. While everyone is enjoying the festival, they are on high alert to foresee any untoward incident. Even traffic police officers will be available whenever required.
Thank them for being around
Defence Personnel
A soldier is never off duty. This is a realistic situation. While you are celebrating the festival, the big brother is protecting you from infiltration. While you are enjoying the fireworks, someone is standing for you in the line of fire.
Admire their service for the nation
BPO/Support Employees
You would find yourself very unlucky if you are working in night shift on the day of Diwali. Day shift on the day of Diwali could be manageable but night shift is certainly going to take a toll. There would be lot of customer support executive who would be working to support you. They could be your bank executive, telecom executive or e-commerce support center executives.
If you call them for some work, make sure you wish them happy Diwali.
Hotel and Housekeeping Staff
This industry never sleeps. They will be at your service if you staying at a hotel. If you still out of your home town and staying in other city, they will be ready to help you to make your stay comfortable.
Celebrate the festival with them
Drivers (Bus/Auto/Train)
Public transport is available on Diwali too. Although the number of options will be less but they will not be completely off track. The app based cab service operator will be available. If you are waiting for a bus in Delhi on the Diwali night filled with smoke, you will be happy to find a friendly DTC bus coming to rescue you.
Wish them a Happy Diwali when they drop you at your destination
Logistics and Courier Company
You may still see some delivery persons giving your delivery as promised. All the e-commerce companies are promoting aggressively for the shopping during Diwali. They will try to deliver within the timeline. Even the courier guys would come to your door step. It could be a gift from a loved one or a surprise greeting card (You will be really surprised if you get a greetings card as no one sends it these days!!)
Welcome them for the cheer which they would bring at your doorstep
Services Specialized for Diwali
While you celebrate the festival, an entire eco-system works to help you with the celebration. This could be a sweet seller or a cracker seller. They will be available even late in the evening to help you with the specific requirement.
