Diwali - wish it was only full of lights and not noise .

13 going on 30 is what describes me now , but am so appalled that what i understood at age 13 is yet to make sense to so many people around me , the decision to have a Festival of lights without the noise and air pollution that comes with firecrackers .
When will people really grow up and teach the generations to come that the beauty of the this festival is best enjoyed as time spent with loved ones , savouring yummy sweets , preening in new clothes , welcoming goddess Laxmi into our homes and lives and lighting lamps and diyas and not burning money in the form of lamxi bombs or tadaphodi!

I on my part have done my bit of having an eco freindly diwali but my contribution is just a drop in the ocean , we need all the people around to really get this - STOP POLLUTING .
or if thats so difficult a point to make then why not just force it down the throats of people - have a law banning the sale and public use of fircrackers , just have one big public display of fireworks in an open ground , telecast on every possible channel and leave it at that ?!

When will the people of this country ever learn this ???
