Why I Hate Diwali

[Pakchina]

I hate Diwali too. It has turned out to be a commercial festival instead of a religious festival where people share in generosity, prayer and truth. It has become like a carnaval where people instead of praying, just spend their time drinking, throwing fire crackers everywhere leading to fire break out, dating in night clubs, drinking, then when they return home they insult, bully and assault people who are not celebrating like them. Thats what this festival has turned out to be, a carnaval for insulting, drinking, assaulting, spreading hate, violence, discrimination, racism and intolerance. All contrary to what Diwali should be. Hope people would reflect on this and return Diwali to a religious festival for prayer, sharing and generosity.

But I hate to admit that I like the ringing in my ears from a 10,000 walla laddi

Hahahaha - Our household moved away from the tradition of bursting cracker throughout the day to bursting couple of 10,000 wallas after blocking the road for few mins and getting a wry satisfaction.

And who said bursting crackers in India is confined to Diwali festival alone?

If Diwali should be hated for bursting crackers then these festivals and celebrations should be hated as well.

The crackers are burst for the following as well which normally follow the Diwali

1. Karthikai Deepam(a festival celebrated in TN for Murugan's birth) - occurs sometime in Nov-Dec
2. Christmas
3. New Year
4. Pongal


So hate all these festivals and celebrations if someone hates crackers.

Here is our 10,000 walla for Christmas 2005(when I visited India)
