IT'S DIWALI!!!

The Diwali bash begins.Lights,sweets,markets buzzing with people.Out we are buying for ourselves,family,friends,friends of families-and you thought there is an economic slump?


C'mon,Diwali comes once in a year,we can't just let it go.and what about the blasts?is it safe to visit these markets?....Of course,we are giving a slap on the face of terrorists by showing them how we don't care.CCTVs or no CCTVs,security checks or no security checks we will go,afterall it's Diwali.Aaahh!!Diwali,the festival of lights,the victory of good over evil and may be crackers and smoke,and dust and pollution?


Crackers,sensitive issue huh?Teachers yell,environmentalists shout-'the ozone is depleting!!!!' C'mon,you've been saying this since we don't know when.The ozone is here till now and it will remain to be.We will burst crackers,after all Diwali comes just once in a year.


Diwali comes just once in a year but it leaves an impact that will be seen in the coming generations as well.It has been said that the smoke and dust produced every Diwali will lead to children being born with chronic asthma.Scary.You say we should live in the present and scare by telling us about the future?Not a very nice thing to do.Even if bursting crackers means setting your hard earned money to fire,even if we die coughing,we will burst crackers because IT JUST COMES ONCE IN A YEAR!

Chocolates,mithai-we gorge on all that we can,as much as we can.Diabetes,obesity,cholesterol????
What are medicines and 'health clubs' for?People are starving,food shortage is affecting so many families.They are not the only ones,the economic slump has created problems for all of us..............

But,we shop,party and celebrate,after all it's Diwali and......
