Blocked roads. Traffic jams. Blaring music. Deafening noise. Piles of dirt and pollution. Crackers. Complete disrespect for everyone else around. Vandalism. Drunkards. Screeching bands and boisterous trumpets. Absent traffic cops. Sparse public transport.

Oh yeah, and throw in some festivities to keep our so called “tradition” alive.

And that would sum up the celebration of an Indian festival for you.

Disgusting.
