This young man I know did his Diwali CSR or good deed or whatever one would like to call it by going to an old-age home and join them for a fireworks show. All very good, except that this boy is more-than-normal scared of fireworks. To his credit, he braved the fear and went to the show. He sat quietly, and watched others do the cracker job. Without much warning a "rocket cracker" (0r what was called whistlers in our times) shot across the ground and found a neat target ....... our dear protagonist's toes. The toes were singed, the young man bawled, a doctor was got..... etc. etc. etc.
The moral of the story :
1. At Diwali shows always wear shoes and socks, always wear full sleeved shirt and trousers.
2. It pays to study 'Rocket Science' perhaps ?????? Did the guy who lit the whistler read the science??? At the USA?????
I do not know whether to laugh or to condole, but it re-affirms by belief in 'armoured Diwali garments'.

well to his credit he did not bawl..he quite enjoyed the attention since everyone, young and old pored over his feet. there are even pictures with two women,one being me, bent over his toes anointing them with cream. the beaming smile on his face in ALL the photographs are to be seen to be believed. but yes. shoes with socks. always :D
is to be seen to be believed* sorry
ritu : if he did not bawl, then he was in league with the rocket guy !!!!!
Not good at all ..... not good.
