This is the first time I’m staying away from home for Diwali. There were lots of awesome fireworks in the sky and I loved watching them. I went for a short walk in the evening to T-Nagar to get dinner. Although the smoke and pollution from the fire works almost knocked me out, I was happy to see that people were compensating for the pollution they were causing by not going any where. The roads were absolutely free, so less pollution from traffic.

I don’t understand how poor people without ACs could have slept that night, but to hell with them. We can’t compromise on the fun!! It was good entertainment to watch the cool fireworks on the sky - people were kinda competing with eachother - showing off.

They’re all liars who say the end of the world is near. We’ve been celebrating Diwali for thousands of years, after all. Nothing has happened yet. And even if the world is going to end, it isn’t going to end in the next 60 years, and that is long enough for me.

My parents and grand parents have taught me why we celebrate diwali, but I honestly don’t remember.But that’s ok, because I still remember the basics (lol), and I still remember that people do fireworks on Diwali. I love the idea of religious faith and I respect my religion, but just like every other good thing about religions that these foolish non-religious bastards have ruined, Diwali too, will just be a sad and depressing day for me. Yea, and noisy too.
