Stress-buster playlist

Overwhelmed by the festive season? "Music for Social Anxiety: 111 Songs for Instant Relief" could be just what you need as you go about your festival chores. This acoustic playlist offers familiar sounds like the calming piano music, alongside some unique touches - like the gentle rattle of a rainstick and the soothing buzz of cicadas. If a few tracks feel a bit off, don't worry. With each section running around three to three-and-a-half minutes, there's plenty to pick and choose from. Give it a try - it might be the perfect stress-reliever this season!

A cultural exhibit online

If you are looking to immerse yourself in the spirit of the Festival of Lights, the Google Arts & Culture Diwali collection offers 14 engaging exhibits that you can explore online. The collection showcases the festival's rich visual traditions, from intricate rangoli designs to glittering decorations. There are also the festival's culinary aspects - from main course dishes to sweet and savoury treats, and more. Mythical legends in the Hindu tradition, and the story of Ramayana, which explains the reason why Diwali is celebrated, are also included in this exhibit.
