Ok so I'm back on blogger. And the only thing that brought me here is boredom. And an awful headache. I've been having a headache for like, the past three days. For no reason. Like no fucking reason :|. Knowing that no medicine is gonna work, I turned to the best medicine for any pain- music.
As I listened to my favourite artists (OneRepublic, Arctic Monkeys, Jack Johnson, Bastille, just for your information), I started staring at the colourful lights that people had put outside their windows for Diwali. Every year, I look forward to Diwali because of the decorations all over the city, especially the lights(and the sweets of course :D). Still lost in the beauty and colours of the lights, I was brought back to earth by the noise of a loud cracker burst by some children in my building. Obviously annoyed, I increased the volume of my phone so that I couldn't hear them. Maybe my headache was because of these crackers. You know, the next thing I hate the most (after stupid people, if you remember my last post) are crackers and fireworks. Like what joy do you get by seeing some colourful sparks and getting your ear drums tortured. Yes, I know it's Diwali, and a time to celebrate. But is bursting crackers a way to celebrate the Festival of Lights? Is disturbing other people and innocent animals and birds something that religion teaches us? No right? Then why do people burst crackers? Why do people spend thousands and lakhs of rupees for something they are gonna burn? It's like burning money, albeit indirectly.
I think people do this to show off their wealth. To show off to their neighbours. Maybe to their relatives and friends too. Because I couldn't think of any other reason for it(excluding stupidity, of course). It's human nature, I guess. Showing off how above you are from others.
And in the process, you are harming yourself too, along with others. Now what kind of a person burns money, disturbs others, harms himself and other people too, and says that he's celebrating a festival. Crazy? Dumb? Or ( the one which I prefer) just plain stupid? I don't know either.
And let's not forget the harm they cause to our earth. The smoke, gases cause the temperature of the earth to increase drastically. And then people grumble about the abnormally hot weather. November has almost turned into a second summer season. And November is my favourite month(yeah, I was born in November). And you're ruining my favourite month. May God damn you for that -_-.
Luckily, hardly any of my friends burst crackers. Yes, all of us are sensible enough to buy something worthwhile instead of burning our parents money (actually, we are usually short on cash most of the time, so at this time we get to buy all the stuff that we couldn't with our pocket money :P).
So if anyone who bursts crackers is reading this, kindly stop doing so and just think about this young, innocent, sweet child(ok ok, I'm not innocent or sweet, bas?) who has to write such big posts just to make you people understand. And has to use forced sarcasm in the process.
On a serious note, I really hope that this post might make someone who bursts crackers stop doing so. It will serve the purpose of this post, really.
I'm posting some pics of Diwali celebration that I came across during the past three days. I'm really sad that I'll have to wait for another year to see all this liveliness again. But give it a thought, if the best things in life lasted forever, would we appreciate how precious they are?
Until next time, adios, take care and say a grumpy-cat-style NO to crackers(and eat all the sweets that you can, Diwali doesn't come everyday :P)
