Do’s And Don’ts During Diwali

Diwali is the time for fun and festivity. Regardless of age, anyone from six year old to sixty year old enjoy firing crackers and having their favourite sweets on a Diwali day. However we also see and hear a lot of accidents related to Diwali crackers in the the newspaper and TV news channels. Most of these unfortunate accidents can be prevented by following these basic tips.

Do's : -

• Make sure you buy Fireworks from a licensed shop.
• Always keep the fireworks in a closed box.
• Store crackers away from sources of fire or ignition; also keep them away from the reach of toddlers.
• Read the instructions and follow all safety precautions instructed with regard to the use of fireworks.
• Burst crackers in open spaces like playgrounds and fields.
• While lighting the crackers, stand at an arm's length, away from the Cracker.
• Discard used fireworks in a bucket of water this way you can avoid people from stepping on to and hurting their feet from used fireworks which are thrown on the ground.
• Keep buckets of water and blankets ready, in case a fire breaks out.
• Wear thick cotton clothes while bursting crackers, so as to ensure maximum safety from fire.
• While igniting Diwali aerial fireworks like rockets, ensure that they are not facing any opening like a window, door or an open building gate. If the rockets zoom into them, it may cause fire accidents.
• Wear footwear while lighting Diwali fireworks.
• Light only one firework at a time and one person should do it. Others should watch from a safe distance.
• Light the firecrackers away from any vehicle.

Don'ts : -

• Don't burn crackers in crowded, congested places, narrow lanes, near sources of fire or inside the house.
• Don't let children burst crackers unaccompanied by an adult. Keep an eye on them constantly.
• Don't put fireworks in your pocket. Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths in North America.
• Don't dare to examine un-burst crackers.. leave it!! Light a new cracker.
• Don't show the Dare-devilry of lighting crackers on own hands. One tends to light bombs, by bringing them close to the candle or incense, rather than bringing the incense close to the bomb. Avoid doing such feats, as there are chances of the firework falling on someone passing by.
• Avoid long loose clothes, as they are fast in catching fire.
• Strictly avoid using matches and lighters for bursting crackers for Diwali as they have open flames that can be dangerous.
• Never ignite aerial fireworks (like rockets) if there is any overhead obstruction present like trees and wires.
• Never ever leave a lit match, agarbatti (incense stick) or sparkler near unused crackers.
• Never experiment with crackers or make your own fireworks.
• Avoid bursting crackers on the roads-it could cause a major road accident.
• Never ever light a cracker while holding it in your hand. See to it that you put it down and then ignite it.
• Don't keep your face close to the cracker while trying to light it.
• Do not throw fireworks at people.
• Never give any firework item to small children.
• When crackers take time or do not ignite immediately, do not keep in trying to burst them. Move away immediately. Throw some water to diffuse them.

Health Tips To Follow During Diwali

Diwali is a very special day for millions of Indians living all over the world, because the day will witness the coming together of Indians as one single community in celebrating their grand festival, Diwali. People start preparing for the celebrations a few weeks in advance, but as the day approaches it becomes important to register a few important tips to enjoy the festivities without compromising our health.

Top 10 tips for you to celebrate, stay safe and stay healthy this Diwali.

1. Sweets are hard to resist and during Diwali, when there is plenty of colorful sweets everywhere, it becomes even harder to resist. Remember the fact that Indians are genetically prone to diabetes and so it is always advisable to keep the intake of sugar and starch minimal.

2. Stay away from sweets that use chemical preservatives, because the intake of such preservatives can cause damage to our kidneys and liver. It can also cause asthma attacks and cancer.

3. Avoid sweets that have ‘silver’ coating. Such foils are often adulterated by aluminum and aluminum being a hazardous metal can accumulate in our body tissues and can also enter the brain.

4. In times of increasing air and noise pollution that we are witnessing today, it is important that we be responsible while using firecrackers. It is good to buy as little firecrackers as possible, because that can help us spend less and can also stop us from polluting our environment.

5. While using firecrackers we are definitely faced with the risk of burn injuries and so a few precautions are necessary. Always wear slippers during your fun time with firecrackers and never try to do anything to a firecracker apart from lighting it from a safe distance. Kids should be allowed to burn firecrackers only under adult supervision.

6. Do not light firecrackers in crowded areas or on the roadsides, because that might prove to be dangerous for bystanders and the general public.

7. Wear earplugs while exposed to explosive firecrackers. It might sound a bit fancy, but if we ignore it the excessive noise might damage our ears in the long run.

8. It is better to say ‘No’ to alcohol, as any excess is easily possible on this day of celebration. You can avoid a hangover and also the risk of driving while intoxicated if you must drive your car and visit your friends and family.

9. Diwali is a festival that brings a lot of gifts to people, so use the occasion to choose sensible gifts for family and friends. Try gifting fruits or low calorie sweets and snacks instead of ghee-laden sweets.

10. Diwali is also the festival of joy so make it special especially if there has been any unpleasantness with your family or friends in your past. Shed all your inhibitions and misgivings and make a fresh start. Wish them a ‘Happy Diwali’ and embrace them in joy. 

Make your Diwali special for yourself, your family and your friends.
