A girl celebrates Diwali in Bikaner. Diwali marks the victory of good over evil and commemorates the time when Lord Rama achieved victory over Ravana and returned to his kingdom Ayodhya.

I used to burst crackers every Diwali, but for past few years I have stopped. I think I am done with it and don’t feel like dong it anymore.

I haven’t burst crackers for the last nine years now. It causes unnecessary pollution every Diwali. It’s my way to contribute to keeping the environment clean every year.

I will not be burning crackers on Diwali. I am against senseless waste of money to gain happiness that lasts as long as the cracker. Spreading goodwill is my idea.

My mom has Asthma and she is allergic to smoke, so we stopped bursting crackers some years ago. Moreover, crackers cause a lot of air pollution, and also why harm the animals?

Diwali, the festival of lights, for me is not about bursting crackers. Why waste money and time on them? They cause unnecessary air and noise pollution.
