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 ???

I don't see how banning the sale of fireworks is a good solution. What we definitely need is to disallow fireworks from public areas. I keep wondering when one of those "bombs" placed so inconspicuously in the middle of the street is going to be the end of me. Fireworks should be allowed, if you ask me, but only on private territory.
Just to be sure, I personally dislike fireworks unconditionally. I don't play with them, I don't like listening to them and I don't like seeing them. However, I don't agree with the 'ban' solution to anything.
Thanks for the sidebar link.
