Wishing you all a very happy and eco-friendly Deepavali !!!
For most of us, lighting of fireworks is the highlight of deepavali. For many of us, its not deepavali, if one does not ignite sparkling colour light OR hear deafening sound after shutting the ears. In fact, I have known communities where there would be indirect competition amongst neighbours to show their money power, as who lights fireworks for maximum time and also with array of newly introduced crackers.
Interestingly, you could hear the same set of people crib and talk about pollution and global warming the day before or day after. If you have a friendly chat the response would be "Chalta hai... its just one day fun and enjoyment".
To me, one can always do much better things with the money saved as well!!.
Good luck and Happy Deepavali again to all those who celebrate it in 'Eco-friendly' manner.
