Diwali 2009

Murali,

In the year 2009 when you were jaded enough not to go gaga over crackers, but were still foolish enough to go ahead and pollute the environment (how's that lung btw?), you went to a Standard store and saw the following. You then wondered why on earth some ppl would wanna name crackers in such a manner. What immediately followed was a innate impulse to record this on the Internet. The "letter to future self" format was a spur of the moment thing.

Anyways, some amusing cracker names:

1. Bofors!
Did not even get what kind of cracker it was...There was a picture of a simple rifle with sparkling colors all over the box and the word 'Bofors'

2. Cherry Garden
A pleasant sunny day...Birds chirping, Butterflies flyin in n out...Your soulmate and you, with a perfectly pure pot of Earl Grey tea and sandwiches sitting in a Cherry Garden and WHAM!!!

3. God's Gift
Certainly...Sound and Noise pollution, other divine presents aside.

4. Jasmine Drops
@$&*%$@*&%$@ ???

Happy Deepavali all.
