Haters will hate and die burning and repeat the same in hell, lets not waste time.
A very happy Diwali to all Hindus.
No offence but Why it should restrict to Hindus? I do enjoy in Eid and Baisakhi, Guru Purab too. Christmas is none other less than though...
Why not you do the honour sire.....................
Kyunki Diwali Vacation mein mujhse koi kaam nahi hota.........
I m as lazy as Hippo in Diwali baas Diwali ki mittai khao aur phatake jalo.....

Well to be fair, i also think that it's better to avoid crackers in Diwali:
1. Many knows the condition of the workers involved in making crackers is Pathetic, they develop cancer & other diseases b'coz of it.
2. It cause too much noise pollution, which can be harmful for many like patients, elderly etc.
3. It's too risky a business, i have heard of so many people burning there hand or getting blind etc. b'coz of crackers.
4. Huge amount of money that is used to buy crackers gets wasted, it's better to give those money for social causes etc. & to make our country a better place to live.
5. One should just see the amount of garbage that is gathered on streets the next morning on streets & elsewhere b'coz of it.
Why not celebrate it with lights & decorations only instead
just my humble opinion.
P.S. Aunty ney pehli bar koi sensible thread chalu kiya
And u do agree that lakhs livelihood depend upon this business... Conditions are improving alot lately...

Dont understand the hate of Diwali. Its one of the biggest Indian festivals respected world wide. And full of fun and tradition 
I want my future generations to have the same way of fun i had, when i was a kid bursting crackers .
We prepare sweets, distribute to neighbourhoods and poors, go to temple and enjoy with kids (especially 4-10 year olds).
There are 364 days are there to protect environment. A 1 day festival is not gonna blow a hole in Ozone layer.
Even Obama is celebrating it in white house . Y the heck we are talking about it? Its a tradition of light over dark.

Accidents are the worst part of Diwali. Play it safe guys.. No Anaars in your hands and use bottle to launch rockets not hands
I did these adventures as kid and as expected ended up in disaster. Anaar turned out to be an Anaar bomb (and yeah it was Murga Chaap) and rocket misfired.

LOllllllllll we use to give countdown to rocket launch & we even had a mission control.... if it goes straight up (which it hardly does) the mission control would announce the launch succesfull and we have a pepsi party
If it goes hay wire mission failure ..and we all use to drink Pepsi on the rocks failure ke gham mein...
then gang with get togheter to work out the prob was with bottle inclination or rocket was faulty....
good old days..yeh saale EPA kya jaane iska maaza
Diwali gaved us a experience what its mean to been launching rockets......

I probably have the strangest dog in the world. While all others dogs hide under the bed & stop eating & are petrified, mine (Siberian Husky-2years old) seems to be enjoying the show & barely reacts to either the sound or the light except with curiosity. (& ya, before anyone asks, he is neither deaf or blind
)

I think if it was up to me I would hate the commercialisation of any religious or local festival. I wont use the word hate for the custom itself because thats what defines us and distinguishes us (can do away with crackers for sure)
there is Hindu influence in our own version of Dewali when it comes to fireworks and thats our Shub Barat and I fondly remember using fireworks (getting badly burnt once) and shooting in the air, back then we on purpose liked the noisy part because it annoyed our Mullah Do gooders.

What comes to your mind when you think of the word “festival”?
If I was asked this question a decade back, I would immediately picture lights, colours, sweets, sitting with the family at a puja, even church hymns and Christmas carols. But now, when someone mentions Diwali, I think of the new clothes in the shop window which my mother promised to buy me. Christmas makes me think of the wrapped boxes sitting under the miniature tree or on my bedstead – or of the “cool new” products shown on TV which they claim are a “must-have” for the season. And I know it is not just me. Commercialisation has changed the way we look at anything in today’s world.
Advertising has channeled our minds in such a way that we only think of what we stand to gain during a festival. Gone are the “festivals” I knew as a child – back when nobody cared about what you wore or what you got as a present, but instead all that mattered was having fun and appreciating the day for what it symbolized. Weeks ahead of Christmas, Easter, Diwali, or almost any other existing festival, we see advertisement boards on the streets flashing their discounts and their “specials”, and turning on the TV means being shown about a hundred different advertisements about different brands and their attempt at “spreading the festive cheer” and using the season as an excuse to exploit the wallets of eager consumers.
Commercialisation of festivals has eaten into the essence of why we celebrate these festivals and is also accused by many of being a “sacrilege”. A main concern, especially for environmentalists, is the commercialisation of Diwali, and the use of firecrackers, which cause various types of pollution, which make conditions worse for humans as well as animals.
If we think of festivals as simply another way of indulging ourselves and spending money, it ruins the very purpose of the religious celebration. The effect of commercialisation can be seen especially in young children – how many kids are there who are more concerned with why Christmas or Holi are celebrated, than about what they will be receiving for them? Festivals are not meant to be opportunities for financial gain for brands and companies. They are meant to be occasions for religious observance and for people to understand and respect the meaning behind them.
