diwali without pollution

its been long since i blogged coz of the so call hectic work :-) huhh itz human to _create_ excuses. the same time last weekend, i was having high blood pressure, guess why., diwali crackers were bursting my mind from all the possible directions. oh god, our ears can't bear this amout of dB.
for 3 continous days it was just bursting till 11pm. though it is the case, i slept at my normal time of 10 pm :-) the next morning when i stepped out, it is full of polluted air. but we can't help it. people letting out their childishness atleast three days in a year - its good in one way. i am just thinking if there isn't a way to celebrate without noise and sound pollution. our neighbour aunty had lit her house all around with oil lamps... awesome sight. it was so pleasing you know. the house itself had got a facelift. i was just appreciating this aunty and she jumped to road with a bomb and it literally rendered my ear out of service for a moment!!

i think pleasant lighting is the way i like to celebrate diwali.. may be next diwali i would lit my home..
