Campaign against Diwali

Off late, I am seeing lots of campaign against celebrating Diwali where we use crackers or fireworks. This is propogated among the so called "intellectuals" whose brain gets drained reading lots of stuff.

Here are some simple arguments why this fireworks MUST continue on Diwali day.

1. As a child I had enjoyed it. It is fun. It gave me so much happiness. That's enough. Even today I relish it. This is needed for my life and existence in this world. Hence I will celebrate with fireworks.

2. It is for 1 day out of 365 days. Why can't I enjoy this day?

The arguments against are
1. Pollution: Please calculate the pollution of all the cars emitting CO2 on all the days. Is it much less than the pollution generated by firecrakers on Diwali?
2. Accidents: Tell me how many people have died due to accidents when compared to accidents on Diwali day.
3. Child labour: Ask the government to handle it.
4. Disease: Please compare with automobile pollution.

If you are so worried about pollution stop fireworks during IPL, during new year celebrations etc.

So please do not fall prey for some idiotic guys who cannot see others be happy say all this nonsense.

Enjoy your Diwali.

I feel there is a reason to celebrate and devised by our ancestors. This is the time when rainy season ends and this fire works and smoke is required to kill all insects and germs. In my mind Monster is nothing but insects and viruses :-) and Diwali is to celebrate killing of monster !
