Diwali.. festival of lights…

so this post can be treated as a comment and continuation of Gopal’s post …

So as we know Diwali is festival of lights but not festival of sounds and smoke…. why bother about sounds and pollute air.. 😦

Gopal’s point is that we can use eco-friendly crackers which i dont even heard off. More over they wont be completely free of sound and smoke. So i am here providing an “alternative” here..

All i want to say is that instead of completely stopping the amount of crackers you fire, reduce the amount of them and reduce it by next year and finally in a span of 2-3 years you are willing to stop firing the crackers. I know that people will be reluctant to do this but considering the green house effect and other negatives of the fireworks, its worth the effort. Communicating with younger and elder people on this issue is a tuff job and i think “Youth” can do it 🙂

More over boys, you can use the money to buy sweets or some crap.. and gals you can have your choclates for that 😉

The positives i heard of firing crackers are that.. firing kills insects and other creatures that might be coming due to rains and it heats up the atmosphere. But we are developed scientifically enough to prevent mosquitoes biting us and other insects disturbing our lives. And heating the atmosphere.. its already over heated and no further heating is required. To celebrate the victory of Ram over Ravana we can think lots of wackiest and funny ideas rather than firing crackers and polluting atmosphere.

I think you will give a thought on this aspect and buy your crackers. We cannot do anything to reduce the effect so lets try to prevent it.

So friends think of a cracker-less, sound-free and pollution-free Diwali…
Finally, think positive, be happy and Happy Diwali….
