Indian Festival(s): Diwali


Diwali also known as Dipavali, which is festival of lights. Although the present scenario in cities of modern India (@least in Mumbai) contradicts the meaning of the festival. The festival of lights is celebrated as festival of noise. Fireworks were used as they gave lights, which were followed by bombs & other crackers which gives 2% light, 48% smoke and 50% noise. It seems like the main intention of celebrating a festival is to trouble people around. Many people have asthma problems; many people mostly due to old age have timid ears and can even get a heart attack after listening the kaboom noise of the crackers. Even during marriages and Ganpati visarjan , traffic jam and making loud noise with weird dances on the streets are common. They don't care if an ambulance have to pass by or if there is hospital in that area. 
Indian festivals have now became the best examples of mockery. Festivals are celebrated by troubling other people. Not just Diwali but also Rangapanchami or Holi’s second day, it is celebrated throwing water balloons by crazy people (not just kids, many times grown ups too) on people passing by, making them wet, making their clothes dirty & also sometimes those water balloons if hit on eyes, they even make the people lose their eyes. But these people don’t care and so do the Government & Legal system. India might have a good culure but if it is celebrated this way, it is an example of an uncivilized bunch of animals.

p.s. This diwali its raining so wet road everywhere & no crackers, no noise or air pollution. :D
so, HAPPY DIWALI!!!

  7. To be honest, Diwali comes once a year. If noise pollution is there during the Festival of Lights, it should be welcomed. Old or young, this time of the year is to be celebrated. As I understand, there is a "curfew" for when to do the fireworks. If that can be implemented in a strict manner, it would make sense.

    As for the foolish few who like throwing stuff at people, maybe it is best that they are given the same treatment. Immature behavior is in every society. I think you should've called the police on these guys, if not gotten the media involved. But I agree with the other posters on one thing, no need to be grumpy!


    @Anonymous: No need to attack people, especially asking them to drown themselves when they have been attacked by bombs.

Speculative Hindu Temple Architecture: Modern style

India has a wonderful variety of Hindu temple architectures. Each style evolved from previous one during a particular era and under a particular cultural influence. But after colonial period, the style stopped evolving further and all later modern temples we see today have borrowed heavily from the styles that existed before. Although there are a few hipster styles today, but still it’s little bland if you compare it with the kind of architectures that existed before. So, how would’ve been Hindu temple architecture of today’s India if we follow its pattern? But first let’s check out all types of Hindu temple architecture styles in India and abroad. You definitely must be aware of the most common styles – the north Indian ‘Nagara’, the south Indian ‘Dravida’, and its blend known as ‘Vessara’. But there are many regional styles which often get unnoticed by the common folk. Let’s check them out. Types of Hindu Temple Architecture Early Nagara Shikhara with Gavaksha Dravida Vimana Vessar

Ethnic Nationalism

A lot is heard about ethnic based separatist movements, like people of a particular region in a country having issues with people of other regions within the country. Most of the reasons are ethnic or cultural and the demands range from territorial autonomy to complete independence. Why does it happen? Well for that we have to go back in history. During the age of empires, the political boundaries were not limited to the cultural boundaries but depended on the ruler's imperial capacities. For examples: Maratha Empire had conquered and ruled states like Gujarat and Central India which were culturally distinct. The French Empire ruled Italy and Spain. The Japanese Empire briefly ruled nations in South East Asia and Korea. The British, well their rule was in every continent of the world. When concept of Nation-State emerged, it started changing political boundaries. Most common factor was language; kingdoms like Prussia, Saxony, Bavaria etc. joined to form Germany, as they a
