The idea of welcoming through a diya or a lamp is a very amazing idea but all of it seems lost in the current scheme of things. Being a lazy bugger (as the name suggests) and a strong athiest I never venture into the task of lighting a lamp but still I would rather see parents and children usher in Diwali by doing so and not bursting some of the ridiculously loud crackers and bombs that are in fashion these days.
Its become that time of the year when some of us want to flex thier 'cash' muscles and make a statement. I am fine with that but that statement just like thier fashion sense is too loud! Its so loud that even without proper research I can safely say that many people in this generation and the next will probably go deaf for no fault of thier own. Its kinda like passive smoking, only the noise slowly kills your ears and makes you a character of 'Sarabhai V/s Sarabhai' aka Madhu Bhai (for those who didnt watch it...sorry I am too lazy to explain) Sometimes I think if these kids and thier parents enjoy blasts so much....maybe they can be put into the NSG battling the guys who burn crackers that are more destructive and noisy! But I guess that would never happen....sigh.
Happiness is a fundamental right...infact its the one thing that cannot be easily defined, but I wish that people find an alternative method of showcasing the depth of thier pockets rather than testing the limits of our ear drums.
Till we meet again....Have a safe Diwali...n dont forget to wear earplugs!
