We wait for this season of festivals and celebrations one whole year.Diwali is one such festival of year which certainly change the look of our houses,this is the time people want to paint their houses with a color of hope ,happiness and prosperity and plan renovation of houses,offices....for the reason of diwali and its very shubh to do all that and for the aagman of laxmi mata.When we look upon the dressed houses wearing different lights in different style..ah! how could I forgot to mention those lazer lights which my neighbour used.More than artificial light I like diyas and to me its very inspiring.Here are a few lines :
Diwali is the festival engaging all five senses:
1) Eyes-beautiful decoration,dazzling shimmering lights,crackers emitting differt colored sparkling lights fill the night with more artificially created starry component.
2) Nose-fragrance of flowers,fumes of delicious recipes
3) Mouth-mouth watering sweets,different flavors of traditional food favorite of tongue
4) Ear-aartis,chants on diwali,shankh,the holy bell we use in poojas
5) Touch-the wishes,hugs we exchange on diwali pull out negativity from us
What about sixth sense?To wake up the sleeping sixth sense I have one very recent incidence to share with a message.
My one very close relative,who is very dear to me,very sweet and charming boy who had entered teenage just a few months earlier,a boy so obedient and very well mannered,a son whom every parent would proud of .His father gave him a new mobile as Diwali gift and he was so excited to show it to his friends who were engaged in igniting crackers with all their innovative ideas.They showed him their new invention and fun in putting cracker in pipe.They told him that they ignited it a few minutes back but it did not burst anyhow.My innocent cousin went close to that evil pipe and peep inside to see why its not working, but the moment he went very close to it,it bursted horribly and took away the flawless skin ,happiness for this Diwali....his mother was nearby but couldn't stopped it as when she reached , her pearl of eyes turned black .His face looked smoky, for a mother its very difficult to tolerate but sometimes you have no other choice than to act with all your senses and powered by crisis with a gush of adrenaline in your blood.She called relatives for help as she was all alone but the neighbours were the first one to help and then they rushed to nearby hospital to seek immediate treatment.They washed his face several times to actually see his face and the extent of damage to the skin and the eyes which were most affected.In the meantime relatives reached that place and they called the known Opthalmologist for the eyes and thank god! he said eyes are safe but need to put lot of medicines as the skin over eyes was burnt, the forehead was also burnt badly.Today when I saw his face ,his face before the burn was waving around my thought .I tried hard to look on his face and poor eyes which were oedematous [ fluid filled] and swelling was so much that he couldn't open his eyes and all the eyelashes were itching into his eyes.God! what the hell crackers are for?
I am writing this as I couldn't sleep without pouring it out.I am so stressed out with all this.His mother was moving restlessly in hospital ,his father wearing gloves to provide comfort to the child and save him from further infections.If god gives the pain ,he gives the strength also.
But my question is WHAT IS THE ROLE OF CRACKERS ON DIWALI?
Whom do you [the people who throw thousands and flaunt in front of others that we spent that much amount on crackers] think dupe a)Yourself b) People c) Laxmi Mata .
a) If yourself- then you are a fool as it will suffocate you in night as you polluted air like hell
b) If people-those who have very short memory and will never appreciate you.
c) Laxmi Mata-I don't think she will come this way.She will never enter the suffocating ambiance created by you and the noise pollution with sudden scary explosion of crackers kill the pleasure of arti,shankh,holy bell.
If such people have real money and if they want to celebrate Diwali to please yourself,the people and the Laxmi Mata then donate the amount you wanted to spend on crackers so that somebody else could celebrate Diwali too and that happiness will make you happy and satisfy your soul and Laxmi Mata will shower her blessings too.
WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY ECO-FRIENDLY DIWALI
