Gali, Gali, Deepawali aai re...

Here comes the most awaited festival of the year...Diwali. Diwali along with it brings loads of happiness and prosperity. People forget their egos and exchange sweets and delicacies. Doorsteps are decorated with rangoli and you can see the auspicious diya everywhere(as Diwali rightly means a row of lights). But one thing I don't really like about the festival is crackers. They pollute the atmosphere and are very harmful. How many of us actually know that the cracker industry employs small children. These children then develop skin ailments and even tuberculosis in worst cases. Yet we the privileged ones anxiously wait everywhere to burst these crackers. Anyways some people might think that I am being pathetically senti. But thats Indian mentality, isn't it? Having fun at the cost of others!

Anyways... Wishing my near and dear ones a happy and prosperous diwali!
