Frequently asked questions
What do I send my best friend on Diwali?
Something that could only be about them — a reference to the year they have had, a plan to meet, an old joke. Anything that reads as a forward defeats the point.
Is it fine to send a funny Diwali message?
Between close friends, yes. It reads as warmth rather than disrespect when the relationship already runs on teasing.
Are these Diwali wishes free to use?
Yes. Every line is original to Saylines and free to send or post without credit.
