You’ve heard of Elf Yourself, the popular Office Max campaign where you can turn anybody into a silly, dancing elf.

But have you heard of Diwali Gram? It’s even sillier than Elf Yourself because you can turn anybody into a shimmy-ing Bollywood star. You can change the type of dance, the music, which body parts are moving, and the costume. I’m a fan of the belly dancing outfit. It’s a great time waster.

Note, if you are looking at this at work, the Diwali Gram page automatically plays music!

Diwali is a Hindu festival of lights that is sometime between mid-October and mid-December each year. Read more about Diwali on Wikipedia.

Thanks, Katherine!
