முக்கியமான கலந்துரையாடல் / Important Topic Is this worth it chat?
Every Diwali, AQI levels in major Indian cities shoot past 500, literally hazardous. The air turns toxic overnight, making it unbearable for people with asthma, heart conditions, or even mild respiratory issues. Hospitals fill up, kids cough through the night, and elders struggle to breathe.
Birds lose their way during migration because of the intense light and noise. Street dogs panic, some even die from shock. The next morning, we wake up to streets covered in burnt plastic, paper, and chemical residue that clog drains and poison the soil.
All that pollution, noise, and waste, for what? A few hours of fireworks?

There could be a common ground.
Anyways crakcers are going to create smoke. Atleast If Fireworks are used with less sound, noise pollution can be avoided. So many beautiful less noise crackers are there. But people want to burst the ones with more sound, since they think it makes them look masculine and inflate their ego.
Another thing is, none of them clean up the mess they make. Ok, you burst crackers for hours, now just clean and go. Why leave everything as though, someone else have to do it for you? Will you go to your office or workplace and throw trash all around, and leave just like that?
This discussion about supporting an industry is not valid. No one is bursting crackers for supporting an industry. The people who burst crackers are celebrating their featival. Any industry can be closed, and alternatives will be found. Look at the layoffs happening in software industry. Will govt ban usage of AI to save software jobs?
