Delhi has visitors this Diwali. Millions of insects. They look like jeera and swarm any and every white light they see. Last weekend we had a party and by the time we got down to dinner all the food had insect garnish. They slip in through the wire mesh and from under the door. The only way to escape them is to turn the lights off and stay in the dark. Good news for people with romance on their minds but a pooper for those waiting to splurge on lights and fanfare in Diwali.
I for one am very happy. If this is the only way (rather weird way) to buy some peace during Diwali so be it. Those petty businessman who want their cash tills ringing thru the festival are probably having nightmares. Sweet shops are the worst hit so watch out. I bet they all have insect seasoning. We'll save lots of enrgy, money and avoid noise pollution. Harbingers of doom or messengers of peace? Take a guess!
