Diwali - Terrorism to Birds & Animals

Diwali – The Festival of Lights and Sounds... A Celebration!

 

Everyone (well, almost) enjoys all the sights and sounds of Diwali. I enjoy the Sights, the lights…but I detest the Sounds!

Sound? What Sound? It’s a Noise!!!

 

It is a nuisance to Small children who cannot express their tolerance levels. They feel they enjoy it because us adults show them that they should like it.

 

But, what about the Birds & Animals?

They cannot speak or express themselves. All they can do is Hide & Run from all these noises. But where will they go? Humans have no place to live, forget birds and animals.

 

They jump and run everytime a cracker bursts. They run, fly and look for a place to hide. Every cracker burst must be giving them a heart attack. I’m sure the feeling they have is very similar to the feeling we get when we hear a gun-shot or even see a bomb blast somewhere.

 

What is the point of this Festival. Nobody cares about the festivities and what the reason for the celebration is. All everyone cares about is the ‘show-sha’ associated with bursting crackers! “Oh! See, we have sooo many crackers”. “Oh look we have the best ones and the loudest ones!” Damn it!
