Diwali.. a festival of lights or Pollution....

Marketing Executive
Am back from a small vacation went to Madurai to spend diwali with my cousin.....
enjoyed the home made food and being with family. but not feeling like working today may b tired due to lot of travel i did or may b the hang over of home.... :)

I love everything about diwali lights, diya, sweets, decorations, rangoli. But there is only one thing which is really harmful and even irritating. That is pollution, on the day of diwali I was quite irritated of the noise of crackers. I was not able to talk properly on phone with anyone all my family members and friends were calling to wish diwali but noise was so much that neither me nor the the person on other side was able to hear properly. This noise started from morning 9am and continued till night 11pm approx. And this continued for the 2nd day too. I was so irritated that by evening I was not at all in a mood to go out and have fun with my friends.

Next day I went out in evening to collect some medicines for me as i had cold I was not able to breath properly due to the smoke in environment.

All this made me feel really bad Diwali is a festival for lights which can be done using Diya the most beautiful option these days we can even use series bulbs and candles for the same. Why we need something which creates noise and smoke. The lights were lit up because light is the resemblance of victory over dark and evil, and by using crackers we are actually creating pollution which anyway is going to harm our nature and give us problems in return. This is going to be harmful us and our next gen too.

Considering these facts in many states especially in Delhi people stopped using crackers in diwali which resulted in less pollution.

Even we should take step ahead and say no to crackers for a pollution free environment and surrounding we are living in.

I have decided from next diwali i wont lit up any crackers which create noise pollution or air pollution.



For more details about pollution created due to crackers only in one day of diwali kindly refer below given article's link.
