Diwali

Well this is how I see Diwali. Call me whatever you want.

We give gifts to each other on Diwali and in turn expect gifts from them. Look at it this way now -- when someone gives you a gift the equation on one side is heavier than the other so in order to equalize you also give them a gift which once again leads to a equilibrium state. My question here being --Why in the first place destroy the equilibrium?

Secondly, Diwali heralds coming back of Lord Ram to Ayodhya and that is the reasson why we burst crackers in order to show our happiness on His return. But the level of pollution that we generate because of this(happiness) , Lord Ram would prefer to stay back in the jungle than inhale all those pollutants.

Well so I think that Diwali is nothing but a capitalist conspiracy.
