For a cause


This Diwali was a real fun and a different diwali for me. To start with, i saw two movies in the diwali week!! Both, 'Jab we met' and 'Om shanti Om' were average movies.. so i spent my money and time on something which i never do in diwail season..

Next change was that i didn’t spend much of the money on my clothes or accessories. (Oh god, what is happening to me?!?!) Yes, a very big change…!! Though it is a different story that i spend it year long on these things, but let us concentrate only on diwali spendings..! :))

But the main change this diwali was that i didn’t burst crackers, for a special cause. I’d read an article about how we waste our money literally on something which really is of no use, and this struck me so much so that i decided not to burst crackers. And secondly i’d decided to have a no – pollution diwali, full of lights, which is the essence of this festival. Diwali is celebrated mainly because of the belief that it’ll bring light in our lives and that no one should be in the darkness of shame and hatred.
I was one of those people who used to love and enjoy bursting crackers.. but now, i am happy that i’m contributing to a good cause… to make everyone’s diwali a happy one..
