    The little boy said to his dad
    In a whisper that many heard:
    "Get me a huge box!", he had
    Mentioned about crackers. Not bad!

    Being the only son whose day
    Of birth coincided that diwali day,
    His father gave what the boy had asked.
    The boy's joy clearly couldn't be masked.

    Next time his father hoped that he would
    Ask even bigger and was prepared for it.
    What he asked, was something so good
    That his father hugged him and felt a bit.

    "I don't want to see those hands
    Of children my age in silver colour.
    By buying crackers, we indeed stand
    Guilty by pushing them in this forever.

    It was taught just in class. Yes.
    But the little one said with a conviction,
    That clearly stated his decision best.
    So touching was his compassion.

    Also we save our places from
    Pollution by noise and by air too.
    So lets all choose now to stay from
    Crackers. Hope many others will follow too!

    Happy Diwali, my dear IL Friends! May this festival of light bring in a lot more joy and success to all of you!

    Good one Rgs!
    And the message came as loud and clear as the strong conviction the LO had - saying 'NO' to crackers.
    Happy Diwali to you and ur family.

    let this lovey message light the lives of all of us.
    let this diwali dispel the darkness of ignorance, prejudices, playing politics, all the wicked wualities possible in a human being and
    just fill everyone with just GOODNESS of everything.

    Happy diwali and safe Diwali to you and your family too
    pl., take care of the little one!

    Too good a wish from a little one.
    Little steps like this would bring in the desired change.

    Nice one RGS - wishes from me too.
