An Appeal. . .

My first post and my first appeal. . .I had to begin writing my blog with an appeal to everyone and anyone who loves existence, who loves our earth. . .please, please do not burst crackers this Diwali. Help prevent pollution, help protect the old and the sick and help animals.
Imagine a bomb exploding right near our ears? Well something similar happens to dogs. The smallest sound of a cracker, creates this huge, scary blast for them, since dogs can hear a wider range of frequencies than humans. Dogs hear noises up to 45 kHz, while humans only hear sounds up to about 23 kHz. And this can prove very very painful to them.
So, do your bit, don't burst crackers and tell others not to do so too!

You're abosolutely right! We Indians have forgotten to celebrate festivals in their true essense, spirit and meaning. Basically Festival is to share and enjoy happy moments together, to make other beings participate in our joy, may it be humans, animals or plants. We instead enjoy irritating, hurting and bothering others. We have become sadists.
