#IndoreSmartCity – Celebrate Smart Diwali


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.
