The front page news in HT delhi on 30th october was that this has been the cleanest diwali yet since 2001. Credit goes to educating people around delhi about the harmful effects of crackers. Keeping a check on the number of licensed cracker shops around delhi and lastly inflation.
I'm sure the last one had a greater affect on people as compared to the first two. Whatever be the reason I, for one , was very happy. I too celebrated diwali. Without crackers. AND i pledged to plant a tree.
I found it much more relaxing on my conscience, and it was better to buy seeds from a nursery than to go in a dusty ground, scuffle with people, bargain with the shopkeeper, find out half the crackers don't burn, and smell the fumes and bear the noise of the crackers all evening.
I've made up my mind to plant a tree every holi, diwali and on my birthday and take care of it.
I hope every one who reads this post maybe just pledge at least one tree an year.
Hope you have a wonderful year ahead.
