Deepavali, A festival.. Not a Shame!

Deepavali is just here, all are set and excited to celebrate this most auspicious festival of  hindus in their respective ways. 

Deepavali which means “Series of light” and “glow of light”, spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil,  and hope over despair. Deepavali is being celebrated in honor of the return of Lord Rama, Goddess Sita and Lord Lakshmana to Ayodhya from exile of 14 years after Rama defeated Ravana. To honor them, villagers light Diyas to celebrate the triumph of good over evil. 

Now that was the marked history of why Do we celebrate Diwali and how important this festival is, for we ‘The Hindus‘. 

But If we see the articles and headlines of past few years, It will leave you spellbound,  that how smartly critics are poking our festivals. Critics have started defining our festivals as the biggest environmental hazzard. I wonder Is it only our festival which is polluting the Environment and at the same time marking our festivals as the ‘life end’ for all the street animals.  But isn’t that a point we  should criticize for? 

When I made the plan about writing on this issue, I already saw such unwanted social posts about, ‘How we shouldn’t light crackers during Diwali,  because it is not kind to animals and as well as to the environment.’ The same people just for the sake of their high status routinely travel business class to attend international conferences or say Holiday trips and who work and live in Ac environment 24/7, and displaying their luxirious four wheelers and burning diesel,  Want us to not light crackers because it is oh-so bad for the environment and when comes Holi they get out of their Olympic sized swimming pools and tell us to save water.

  

This ever growing critcs are so not going to stop because we, who are at blame according to them never take a dig on it. 

In this article I could have also mentioned how other community’s festivals also have some short comings and they are equally not so good as far as the environment is concerned, But being a human,  I am not here to hurt the sentiments of the people around the world.

Facts say, everything including our festivals have a downside to it.  That is again an old age fact.  Nothing in this world can be made picture perfect without any side effects.

So my idea of writing this article is just to alert all the people, not only the Hindus but all the Indians, whenever someone tries to poke your festival, don’t bow down, instead tell them the rituals and the history attached with your festival and be proud about  your tradition,  customs and festivals. 

Definitely with the time, Change is must,  but that change must come from within, Not because anybody else want that change.

I know after reading this article people might criticize me, As most of the crackers are ‘Made in china’, Then I would say please go check out yourself,  Is everything that you use is an Indian product?  Your answer would be a straight ‘No’  and even if one is so particular about using Indian products then you will definitely manage buying crackers with the label ‘Made in India‘ from the market. 

I Muskan Bhojwani don’t light crackers, but I light up countless diyas at home and to keep the tradition alive in me I light up the sparkling fuljhadi, And also enjoy witnessing the fireworks, with my family. 

I am a proud practicing Hindu. I respect and celebrate my traditions. And let me tell you all that Deepavali is personally my favourite time of the year. 

By the way has anyone taken on account of the number of crackers that are fired during the New year eve and at the the grand Opening and Closing Ceremony of any Sports event,  But again why would the critics cry for these celebrations. These are not hindu festival, isn’t it.? 

Happy Diwali to all✨

Females verdict..

Hello Blog Readers!

In this world of males and females. I am a female who is being judged by all, who is being ruined by all, who is always the victim of society’s dirty fantasy, who when cries is known for her cowardness,  who when laughs, is asked to shut as if something wrong she has done., Who is being  treated as a ‘Maal’ for the society, who is being taught to let go all the shits that happen to her,  who is being attacked brutally when say ‘NO’ to someone.

 

Who is known as a ruined child of her parents when becomes independent , Who is being questioned when wants to be in a relationship. Whose character is judged by the length of pants she wears. Who is still fighting for the the Right to be Educated.

Who doesn’t find herself safe out of her home’s corridor. Who is asked to cover her face when goes out of her home, who is not seen as autonomous individuals, who is being treated as an object to satisfy the desires  of man.

It’s a pure shame, If people worship goddess Durga,why treat women like an object.

 
Is this the true reality of The Incredible India.?

But no more now.!

 Everybody till date speaks of Independence that we got 71 years from now and We the womens have not got it yet,  Do we also have to fight for Our Freedom,  exactly like our freedom fighters fought for the nation’s freedom and dignity. 

• The society should remember that it’s always a female who gives life to all the males, then who gave them a right to spoil womens according to their mood. 
• Females are the most beautiful and a pride to our society, if spoiled completely the life will come to an end. 
• Let her live and never ever mistake her silence for weakness. Remember that sometimes, ‘The air stills before the onset of hurricane.’
