Ten yrs ago the noise & fumes of crackers would fill the Mumbai air a week before Diwali & for days thereafter. Today, on Diwali eve, I can’t hear the sound of a single cracker.Clearly, people(especially kids) are now respectful of the environment. Things DO change for the better

As Diwali draws to a close, I have no colourful animated images to share. The image of a solitary Diya is my enduring memory of this great festival.
