Just a few shots I took on the night of Diwali outside the apartment complex I stay at. All the residents had gathered at the public park in front to burst firecrackers.

Quite a few families had already begun with the noise

Sparklers are of course, a perennial favourite. I hate the bombs – mostly because I can’t stand the noise. Sadly, with fireworks costing as much as they do come festive season, I can see why Diwali gets louder and louder each year.


The names they come up with for fireworks these days. This one’s called ‘TV Tower’.

Surprisingly this one isn’t called ‘S.O.S’


Even visitors couldn’t resist joining in on the festivities




Whereas up in the sky…




I got tired of the noise and returned home
Hope everyone celebrating had a prosperous, and more importantly, a safe Diwali this year!
