Well this was the end of another great diwali week.
Sweets were more of the main core of Diwali! If you ask a person what's up? The first thing they'll say is "My sugar levels". Another highlight of this year is the cracker Nowadays diwali is becoming a bit like valentine's day. Just like how valentine's day you can roam around with girls, hold hands, make out (ok this is India so maybe I'm pushing it). Nobody bats an eye. But when it comes to valentine's day that day we have these activists beating up couples on a Monday morning (and we thought we were jobless). Same here. You burst firecrackers, fireworks,tear gases and smog bombs during the year and block out the sun with the smoke nobody cares but when it comes to diwali that day...one bijili..."gasp!"....Pollution!

A question which we all ask ourselves is how did we grow up from bursting crackers? I thought about that and this is how the timeline works
BC (before crackers):-
This is when we are some 6 or 7 and that time our parents tell us to stay away from crackers so we keep telling ourselves "next year for sure! Next year for sure!" (Just like Arsenal before every premier league season)
Pocession of firearms:-
Finally we did it!. Finally our parents are convinced that we have enough intelligence not to set ourselves on fire (I'm still yet to reach that stage). And we finally get our first box.
I love it how when we are kids. Small things just make us crazy. The concept of crackers itself is strange...just a bit noise and that's it. But at that point everything would excite us. "Sound! Wow! Let's run! Can you feel that ringing noise in your ears? Then let's do it again!"
Fireworks were like the best then. "Sound and sight?! I can see and hear this?! Where do I sign?"
When it used to rain in diwali we used to e heartbroken. "NOOO! Why?? Why rain?! Screw the farmers! I just want to burst my 5000 wala!"
Al kids:-
At this point we are kind of bored of the normal bursting crackers. So we try to turn it up a notch. We become little terrorists. Well start blowing up stuff. Putting bombs in the wall. Putting it under cups and watching it fly. Throwing it at the cat. At that point a good diwali is if a tree or a house catches on fire.
Remember those times when the flowerpot (which shoots sparks upwards) would fall sideways and that means it'll go fly about like mad all over the place like some phoenix on extra caffeine! It is at that point when we all jump for cover like soldiers with war paint on our faces think "Shit...just...got ...real"
Teenage Firebag:-
Now this is when we reach college and that point Diwali is about 2 things.
1.Holiday and 2. Hopefully our dad's will give us a bit of extra cash in the name of holiday spirit. Usually well get some 2 days holiday for Diwali. What some characters will do is put one rough calculation in their head "Okaaay. Diwali is on Tuesday and Wednesday but I have a weekend also. So if I take a leave her and a holiday ther.... *Taking phone* Muuum! I'm coming home for week!"
And we never lose our spirit for crackers. We use it when we go for a first day for a movie! You've got to love those fans! 3k on the poster...2k on the crackers. And sponsoring for all their friends. (Total bill: 7600 +popcorn) And to think that we are scared to go for a movie bcos of an extra 30 rupee GST! Infact they spend so much money that nomatter how bad the movie is they will love it "Movie is bad? Cheh cheh. Who said that? Best! Class! Top notch! Infact the academy award is filing it for a Oscar nomination as we speak" #vivegam
Coach ladoo:-
Remember when we were kids and we would be like "I can't believe it. I got crackers to burst for Diwali. Holiday"
After you grow up its "Omg I can't believe it. I actually got leave for Diwali!"
So at that point all your body thinks is just to shut down. Take a box of diabetes and increase your sugar level and just sit in front of the TV and keep changing the channel. (Wait..that seems like a lot of hard work) Just sit and watch whatever is ok with that mandatory new diwali dress. That is after you take a picture of you wearing it before the colour fades. oh I'm talking about the person..not the dress. (Oooooh! Dank joke!)
So if someone calls you for a movie for a first day first show movie at 8 30. You'll be like "First of all I hated this idea the moment you said wake up. Second of all. I already saw it last night. So be a darling and get me a box of sweets while I have a post sleep power nap"
That is another reason reason why I feel we should get a vasecotomy. Ok I'll rephrase that better. This is a reason why kids brighten up our lives. There are there to make you relieve the Golden young times of your life which majority of people have forgotten. To remind us to be young then and there. I've seen it when kids force their parents to come burst crackers with them or play sports with them or play video games. That's when the voice xomes in the parents head "Little amateur! Let me show you how it's done!"
So hope everyone had a great Diwali this year! I had a blast. Actually no. I watched the blast.
Diwali life hack: You feel bursting fireworks is a lot of hard work and money? All you got to do is a get a deckchair and a beer. Wear a kurta and some boxers. So that you are balancing both tradition and ventilation. Relaaax and watch other people's fireworks! Free Diwali?
