FESTIVAL OF PLIGHTS

Diwali...the festival of lights.But year on year mankind doesn't wish to learn and keeps on making it the festival of plights and deafening sounds.The decibels break all barriers and of course the speed of light is seen in the flashes across the skies.The looks that stun and please all eyes ends up bringing tears due to the smog and pollution it creates.What a sight indeed!!

The whole night yesterday the crackers were drowning the peace in the neighborhood and adding to that the smell of burnt powder and carbon made it impossible to sleep .The people must be really immune to the disturbance they create and the menace it causes to peace loving people.Do celebrate but in a controlled manner would be preferred, rather than the crores that go up in smoke in one night.People starve, loose their hard earned money as it happened in a fire that gutted all the firecracker stalls in Baroda, UP and Surat.People loose lives and a living due to callousness.The army, fire tenders working against their wishes on holidays are made to face the brunt at the end of it. Why don't we ban the crackers and make it a festival of lights by burning festive colorful candles and lighting up the spaces , distributing sweets and good wishes all over thus spreading the message of happiness and peace.

Lets join hands to spread this message and make it a peaceful yet healthy and enjoyable place to live in for us and the coming generations.
