Celebrating Diwali!

The word Diwali brings joy & happiness clubbed with images of diyas & lights in our eyes.

There are too many customs and procedure to follow while celebrating Diwali. Few of them are just preparations. Pooja of goddess Lakhsmi, lighting, Diyas, Crackers & sweet distribution are customs that everybody follows. And cleaning home is a preparation that comes naturally to us during pre Diwali days.

Though it’s always good to abide by traditional customs of celebrating Diwali but there are few things that need to change with time (IMO). The first & important thing is overuse or just use of crackers.

There are many reasons to avoid crackers but most important one is the pollution they cause. In Diwali we clean our home but by using crackers we pollute the environment. Some people may differ but I am strictly against the use of crackers. To me, it is a waste of money & sheer harm to the environment.

No doubt how hard I try to convince my heart that just one cracker won’t make any difference, but my mind gives an alarm “it’s not just only one”. Just calculate, if one person will use one cracker then 1 crore people will use 1 crore crackers. At max you can do is to contribute your bit. “AVOID CRACKERS”
