It's been two years since city-based public relations professional Yohanna Dadachanji has been able to properly enjoy Navroz. One of her favourite aspects of the festival is setting up the traditional Haft-Sin table--the centre-piece of Navroz festivities. “It was very difficult to meet family and friends in the last two years. Not having your loved and dear ones around to share the Haft-Sin table feast is really heartbreaking,” says Dadachanji, who is looking forward to resuming the old normal this New Year by offering prayers, cooking an elaborate spread and inviting friends and relatives over.
