Diwali brightness still makes the world beautiful!
Whoa! What a crazy and fun Diwali this has been. Five bright days of nonstop eating sweets (calories be damned!), beautiful nights of checking out well lit streets and beautiful people in dazzling clothes, meeting friends and families and having a blast with them!
Here on Fropper as well, beautiful Photos, lovely ezBlogs and fun Videos have been uploaded! Oh, and not to mention the millions of Diwali wishes exchanged between friends and the funky icons on scraps. All that made Fropper so bright and beautiful!
But... with all the beauty and fun also came big time pollution too! People were going crazy bursting crackers building up such thick smoke and making noise pollution. In a lot of cases the 10 pm deadline was also overlooked. Do you know that 3 out of 5 people in Mumbai suffer from respiration related problems? All the air pollution adds to it! The rassi bombs burst close to my ears gave me a ringing sensation in my ears quite a few times.
It was equally disturbing to see tiny toddlers left playing with rockets and bombs and anaars without any elder being around. They ran barefeet. On one hand, it was nice to see them enjoying so much but on the other hand it does bring their safety to mind.
Anyway, the festival of lights is here to stay and so is Mr Diwali! So, I hope in the coming years, people will celebrate Diwali with more responsibility, keeping in mind that we need to take care of our environment while we enjoy. Let's try to have a noiseless and pollution-free yet equally fun Diwali in years to come by!
The streets are still quite lit up and beautiful kandeels and colourful lights still decorate houses and roads. Share with me your experiences and what you did for Diwali.
Have fun!
