I have always took pride in the diversity of my country in terms of culture, language, climate and religion. But tbh I would rather live in a country that is not a pile of dead bodies. The sheer stupidity of its people and the astounding carelessness of its authorities - be it Railway department, police department, municipal corporation or polticians - is shameful. This was a tragedy that could have and should have been avoided. It's no use to dwell on what has already happened. I only know one thing and that is that this Has To Stop. We do not literally need to see the ravna burning to understand the difference between the good and the bad. Say. No. To. Fireworks. They're useless and not worth the cost. Not just because a big accident happened and a lot of people died this time but because a few die here and there every year, houses catch fire every year on Dussehra and Diwali. It's not worth the money, the time, the environment and the life. Burn the Ravana but #notliterally And if you have to do it anyway then how do you feel about little wax-doll candles? Light the candle and ravna can burn slowly. Harmless and environment friendly and no one has to step out of their homes to watch. #waxravna https://www.instagram.com/p/BpH16UWnsvb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17xp71r32j9t6
