Destroyed Diwali 2019

To begin with I would like to curse each and everyone amongst us, who despite the deadly and alarming warnings could not control the lust to burn and destroy.

I am sorry to all of us who have to bear the consequences of the filth we sustain in the name of human in our society.

The Supreme Court in 2018 banned polluting firecrackers and ordered that only green firecrackers, which is said to cause 30 per cent less pollution, can be manufactured and sold - says Google.

Here I want to quote my personal experience with everyone - I always dreaded the Diwali season because I personally banned fire crackers when I was 5 years old ; I was scared to death. On my way growing up, I banned fire crackers again and cursed Diwali because it deteriorated the essence of waking up to a beautiful morning the next day. All I could sense and feel was pollution in my eyes, skin, nose and lungs. I assured my mother that this time we will vibe a drastic change since the life threatening condition of Mother Earth has finally started to fall on ears. I was shaken and devastated. This Diwali was a ruin again.

I had conversations with people those who tried justifying their act of burning crackers with - "are yaaar Diwali ka matlab hi patake fodna hota hai, ab reeti rivaazon ko to badal nahi sakte na".

To my futile attempt I tried to puke the same words out of my mouth again - DIWALI DOES NOT CELEBRATE CRACKING FIRES UP IN THE SKY AND DEVASTATING MOTHER EARTH AND FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS.

DIWALI IS A HINDU FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS TO CELEBRATE THE OVERCOMING OF GOOD OVER EVIL.

I request all of you to google the state of Earth and yourselves if you still aren't aware. We are dying because earth is depleting incessantly.

Aaj nahi to kab rukoge?
Kabhi to thakoge?
Kabhi to daya karoge?
Khud to maroge
Kya humein bhi saath mein maar doge?

P.s - I want to apologize for the cruel words that I might have used but I have written this blog out of sheer rage and frustration for the ones who should take up on everything that I have said to their hearts and souls.

I hope you're having fun enjoying the post diwali celebrations with pollution.

HAPPY DESTROYED DIWALI 2019
