DIWALI
– The festival of light,and CRACKERS- The symbol of joy, excitement and
victory. Every year there will be hundreds of advertisements, newspaper
articles, posters, short films, rally, youtube videos, facebook posts stating
“this diwali no crackers ,this diwali no smoke, lets make this diwali pollution
free”. Its very true that the umpteen crackers burst during diwali throughout
the nation leads to soil, water sound, air and noise pollution. But just delve
down your thoughts and you will realize its not just the diwali that need to be
pollution free. The crackers that are burst throughout the year in every part
of the world, whether its new year celebration, Christmas or any local
festival, marriage, election victory ,sports victory or even death in some
regions, the smoke and sound decorates the surrounding. And just forget about
the other bonanza of pollution and the cigarettes that emit harmful smoke
365x24x7 and helps the soul to travel out of body. So if we are really serious
then we should curb down the crackers and not just diwali. It maybe very tough
to refrain ourselves from bursting crackers during diwali because of our traditional
mindset but we can certainly try and start by reducing it and we can just burst
little crackers during diwali alone and not during any other occasion. “Let’s
fight crackers and not just diwali.”
