Once upon a time, I enjoyed Diwali to the fullest – bursting
firecrackers, eating sweets, having a blast with my sister and visiting
friends. Times have changed, so have I. People have moved away from each other
and there are not many invitations passing around for Diwali celebrations for
me to pick up from. Even if I did have a chance to celebrate Diwali with
friends, I would be conscious of eating sweets due to my weight gain and I
would not be able to enjoy the firecrackers thinking of pollution and the child
labors who manufacture them under harsh conditions.
