    Dear Pulkit,

    I totally agree with you. It is really dangerous to all those little life. We just enjoy at the cost of their lives.

    As per the estimation, Rajkot city alone is going to spend Rs 10 Crores on this diwali time for crackers!! You can imagine how much money the whole India is going to spend…!!!

    While everyone is entitled to spend his or her money the way they want, burning of crackers at such a large scale is a waste of national resources. Even if 50% of the money spent on crackers were used to start schools and hospitals I am sure that we would have atleast 3,000 more schools every year.

    We all should think on this. Seriously.

    I promise not to spend even 1 paisa on crackers. Not on this Diwali. Not on any Diwali that is going to come in my life.

    I know I can not save all the lives and money alone. But if it can make a difference to even one life, it is worth.

    Happy Diwali Time….!!!!
