Every Diwali the Indians go berserk.Its festive time and the Cities are lit up with beautiful sparkling light bulbs adorning the buildings , trees and every nook and corner almost.The traditional clay lamps are lit with the oil and wick and they set the horizons of each building wall.The whole atmosphere is charged and people look forward to make sweetmeats at home and nowadays tend to buy a lot of goodies , be it electronics, clothing, accessories and whole lot of gift wrapped packages to distribute to friends and families.
This however gets disturbed by the deafening boom of crackers and the senseless pollution it causes at all odd hours .People burst noisy crackers in residential areas which resonate so bad that the ear screens would shatter.This needs to be curbed so as to preserve the environment and also to save the sheer waste of money that could feed hundreds of families that gets blown up in smoke in a few minutes by way of crackers.The litter it creates is a nuisance for the sweepers who come the next morning to clean up the premise.The animals are petrified and go into a burrow.The Dogs hide below the cots and the birds disappear.The leftover carcass of the burnt crackers find their way in the tires of cars running over it creating good business opportunity for puncture repair units.Imagine a rocket screeching its way into your house and landing up in the midst of a get together at your house?It happens.
People are definitely changing but the pace is still not there.It needs to be done on a war footing and that would help India conserve the environmental balance.The winter is just setting in and that makes it worse as the Haze created in too bad for the lungs and the traffic in general.
Hope everyone across the world has a great Diwali that brings in prosperity, happiness and peace to one and all.
