The moment we hear about diwali celebrations, no doubt crackers add charisma
to it. During my childhood my sis and myself have had enough enjoyment and have had loads of fun burning crackers.
I usually chose burning the lighters ones. I am still quite scared about the noisy way of celebrating diwali.
It’s been close to 10 years I totally stopped burning crackers because I took an oath not to encourage child labour. I have a strong feeling that any social change does not happen all over a night and its tough for a single person to fight and put things to an end. So if every individual bring in a change and contribute for it there can be a change in the society. Though I was interested in burning crackers I took an oath and followed it till day. But today when I read krishashok’s blog where he had mentioned about crackers being sold with a label “Made without Child Labour”, I was little excited on reading it. I was taken away for a moment that probably there were some changes being implemented for social reformations.
But then I realised this is no less than “cigerette smoking is injurious to health” kinda label when cigerettes are being sold.
Mere marketing strategy!
