Diwali is a great festival and it is celebrated in India with lots of enthusiasm; however, in last few years this festival is actually becoming a source of pollution. On Divali night, people crack large numbers of crackers which leads to lot of air pollution simultaneously killing large numbers of innocent birds. Many people have stopped or decreased use of crackers on Divali; however, still lot of more is required to be done. Some people only give more importance to their own fun and show off then caring about pollutions and birds. Slowly, governments across India are also awakening up to this issue and they have set up various teams to check offenders. Instead of only making laws, it is more important to convince people to stop using large amounts of polluting crackers. I hope that next Divali people will show more respect to environment and birds then only considering about their own fun.

In him, people are seeing a new Buddha. This incident has happened in the Bara district of Nepal. Thousands of pilgrims have started visiting this place. There is news that Ram has not broken his fast even a single time . For the last six months, he has not moved, even to relieve himself. His place is not much away from the place where the original Buddha had done his meditation. According to Ram, he does this meditation because a snake has beaten him. He is also asking people for not saying him Buddha because he is telling that he is not having the powers like Buddha.. kgw. arvindkatoch1 Read - 15-year-old Buddha to controversial Figure
