Diwali is a popular festival in INDIA.
Though it is called as festival of lights it is widely celebrated bursting crackers.
You see the roll my brother is holding that is an array of crackers connected by one firing string. This stretches to few meters.
Top left is my better half running away after lighting it. She knew the next second she cannot afford to stand in that place. You can hear the sample to understand better.. Well this sound lasts for at least 2 mins.
Diwali is the Indian festival of lights, celebrating the new year. We only had a small ceremony this year, but it was still pretty.
The festival of lights, Diwali, we love it for the lights, sweets and the pollution that it brings us. The good thing about the pollution that we create is all the mosquitoes that we were fighting against, the ones that might be related to ones that brought a bout of Dengue, Malaria and Chikungunya, more than half of the population of Delhi was down with viral. Oh! what a booming business it was for medical practitioners and pharma companies, with the reckless prescription and consumption of antibiotics. But even in the darkness there is this light and that is why Diwali and the associated festivities are so very significant here.
