This is that time of the year when the city of Indore is
buzzing with liveliness and happiness. Every face reflects the joy and fervor
of the season. Every house, street and lane is lit up as the festival of light
is round the corner. As a matter of the fact this is the very correct and apt time
to show the prowess of smart citizen, whatever has been preached need to be
practiced now. A festival spirit is doubled when the happiness and sweetness is
shared and responsibility of a good citizen is fulfilled at the same time. A
little awareness and precaution can make this Diwali truly a festival of light
for many.
As a smart and responsible citizen, below are the few
measures that can be taken to enjoy Diwali as much as possible.
·
Bursting Crackers:
These are integral part of the festival and one cannot part with it easily.
Slowly and steadily the change will come and till then precautions need to be
taken. Only if these crackers are burst in excess they cause non-acceptance in
the society; anything within the limit is never minded. So burst crackers but
with smartness and within the realm of enjoyment and not annoyance of others.
·
Noise
Pollution: Anyways the decibels
during diwali are soaring high and traffic jam adds to the noise. Be a smart
citizen and keep patience, honking continuously shall not clear the jam but
irritate you further. Every person is in hurry to be home, even that traffic
personnel handling the commotion, so little understanding and co-operation can
make the festival more joyous for everyone.
·
Stray Animals:
No matter how much one cribs about these stray animals but one should not
forget that these are living being too. Be a smart citizen and don’t let people
bully these animals, tying a cracker to their tail or bursting crackers near
them is just not acceptable. The momentary pleasure is lifelong pain for these
animals.
·
Cleanliness: This is a very grave issue that has
always been a matter of concern after celebration of any festival. Having fun
is perfectly fine but at the cost of environment is not much appreciated. Be a
smart citizen this Diwali, collect the garbage of the crackers you burst and
encourage your neighbour to do the same. This small gesture can avoid the
unclean sight the very next morning.
·
Sharing
is Caring: Share the happiness with less fortunate people and give them an
opportunity to enjoy as well. Be a smart citizen and give a off to your helpers
at home and as a gesture of appreciation
give them bonus in advance so that they too can fulfill the demand of their
family on time.
·
Safety: Safety
of oneself, family and others is a priority. It is surely a festival but there
are times when one gets carried away and tries dare devil stunts with crackers.
Be a smart citizen and make sure crackers not being lit if a vehicle or people
are in vicinity and refrain young children around you from playing with
crackers as it is not only dangerous for themselves but for others as well.
