Supreme Court Ban: Green Diwali my @$$

Recently Supreme Court banned sale of firecrackers for Diwali in NCR, stating pollution and some stupid reason. The decision, as it seems was backed by no or little data, and a lot by whims and fancies and probably lobbying by Sickulars and Pseudo-Liberals. When the nation and common man cries foul and calls the supreme court communal, the honourable dumb-asses say they are pained/anguished (https://goo.gl/9jPp3c). 

Does bursting crackers on Diwali only causes pollution? How about the Christmas and New Year. I have seen the Sydney Fireworks on New Year. On that one event at the harbour, they must be creating more pollution than the entire Delhi over the 2 days. Back home, there are other festivals where we see firecrackers. Come marriage season, across regions and religions, we see a huge display (read show off) of crackers.

Arguing on other points. What is the contribution of firecracker pollution? A rough calculation shows less than 0.01% annually. The firecracker pollution is mostly from gunpowder and low explosives. The automotive pollution is far more toxic with the additives. Let me not talk about the industrial pollution, the chemical plants, tanneries etc. towards which Supreme court turns a blind eye. Some cockeyed logic and a stupid emotional appeal for green Diwali. And for that you want to hurt an entire community, the Majority? Well Done Supreme Court Judges.

Note: Post Diwali, the air quality report and other indicators point the air quality wasn't much different in NCR compared to previous years or the neighbouring locations which did not have any cracker ban. 
Inference: Cracker ban is pointless. Supreme court should stop interfering with Hindu festivals and sentiments (Diwali, Holi, Jallikattu, temple rules ... well- it's a long list).

Virtual Greeting, Social Celebration and Real Relations

Facebook greeted me with a message, as the year came to a close.  Do I care?  Obviously Not. My year ended pretty good, even with this note from Facebook.   But, Should you care? Real World Connections. I have close to 2000 friends on Facebook. All of whom I have met, most I fondly interact whenever I meet. (Few are mere acquaintances). The number would have been greater if all my friends were on Facebook and connected. I have made friends in real life and later connected with them on Facebook. The friends on my list are from my School days, College, Band of Brothers from the Armed Forces, Training academies, various courses I've attended, people with whom I've served in various tenures. My batch mates from MBA. Colleagues from the companies I've worked with. Neighbours from places I've stayed at. Friends with whom I've gone on trips. My students, participants and trainers- from the trainings I've attended and imparted. Friends I made on var...

Schools in the Business of Education

School Few incidents over the last couple of weeks made me look up the meaning of school in the dictionary. As per Dictionary: skuːl/ noun: school; plural noun: schools 1. an institution for educating children. 2. any institution at which instruction is given in a particular discipline. An institution for Education Finished school about 25 years ago. I may be a little outdated, That’s what even I considered schools to be. Not because the dictionary says so. But we felt so, while we were in school. There was a lot that we learnt at school. From the books, our syllabus and curriculum. We had numerous activities like sports, debates, quiz competitions, cultural and co-curricular activities, apart from academics. Though we didn’t have a lot of facilities and infrastructure, but let's skip them for now. Talking about knowledge and education. I still remember a lot from my school days- the basic concepts and even its application. Many a times I am amazed, rather...

Gujarat and Safety

 A video has supposedly gone viral in poll bound Gujarat (Surprising, how I was not able to find this viral on youtube, facebook, google. None of the friends I spoke to have seen it on whatsapp either). This controversial video is being given communal flavour by the presstitutes and covered as front page news . Election commission has ordered a probe, banned the video. Cybercrime Cell is investigating its origins. Libtards are demanding strict action against those who made and circulated the video. I fail to understand how the speeches by the likes of Owaisi and Abdullah are not found inflammatory and they are not imprisoned for instigating communal divide. This video, is in no way communal as being portrayed by the presstitutes, Libtards and siculars. I haven’t seen the video, but what I’ve read is: The video shows a girl hurrying back home; through a deserted locality with some sound playing in the background (probably azaan). When she finally enters her house, her worr...
