Diwali: Festival of Lights or Pollution?

Diwali is one of the widely celebrated festival in the whole country. The skies light up with different colours and make u smile. Today being the day, i intended to stay indoors due to the mad busting of the crackers but as luck would have it i had to step out to buy some stuff from a nearby store and i decided to go on foot as i was afraid that on a vehical i might be hit by some rocket as people bust crackers at any damn place without bothering about anything and when u are walking u are more flexible to those stuffs. So as i started out i was invited by the deafning noise of crackers busting back to back and the rockets whining into the sky and then the thick smoke which almost choked me to death, i agree that its a festival of lights but not this kind of toxic form of lights. It made me wonder that are people aware of the alarming global warming or are they simply ignorant about it. This is what v inhale the fumes of the busted crackers. I still curse the guy who invented crackers. I am not against celebrating festivals but this is harmful and is gonna only kill us slowly, some one has rightly said that humans arent the most intelligent but the most stupid animals.............
