Isn't Diwali the festival of lights? Who made it the festival of firecrackers? Like what's even the point of crackers. All they do is create noise and just worsen the already bad air.

But, even after seeing how bad the smog in Delhi has been, people did not learn their lesson and continued bursting crackers, that too way past the permitted time, since Delhi people can do whatever the **** they want because “woh dilli se hai, bc”.

So, obviously the air is worse, and people can't breathe. Not a big deal, right? It's not like we need oxygen to survive or anything. But, some genius people found a way to breathe properly and even burst crackers. They wore breathing masks while bursting crackers. For real. Take some time for the irony to sink in.

No words for these smart people!

We're a confused city.

Two kids bursting crackers with a face mask on just shows how confused Delhi is. #AirQuality #DelhiChokes #DiwaliHorror #delhi

Great parenting.

Amusing -parents helping kids to fire up fire crackers wearing pollution masks. similar to parents driving on wrong side to drop kids to 'schools'.
What govt. can do about that?@Delhi_Pollution #pollution pic.twitter.com/pifybFDxAO

What a jugaad.

Delhi: Is polluted.

Other people: Maybe I shouldn't burst crackers this Diwali...

Dilliwale, the intellectuals: Breathing mask pehen kar pataakhe jala lunga BC! Jugaad!

Based on true incidents.#Diwali

Why are people so confused?

Just saw a guy in Ghatkopar west wearing a mask and bursting crackers on the road!
Simple question why? #PollutionFreeDiwali

Not acceptable at all.

Yesterday I saw a person with an N95 mask on and burning crackers.
I swear if I was not in my senses, I would have slapped him hard.

I mean you know the are is not suitable for breathing but still you want to make it worse. Not acceptable! #HappyDiwali

Because people are stupid.

Saw a kid wearing a mask and still bursting crackers. When the smoke is so bad for health why burn crackers in the first place ð

Just kept themselves safe.

Professor : What innovative thing you had done in this Diwali

Student : I followed the guidelines of Supreme Court regarding pollution in Delhi

Professor : What you did then

Student : I burned all the crackers by wearing mask to keep myself safe from pollution

— Rahul Hans Chaudhary (@hans_chaudhary) November 7, 2018

A joke.

What do you call a person who burst crackers while wearing pollution mask?

— Tarique Anwer (@tanwer_m) November 7, 2018

Painful, painful death.

Just saw a father son duo wearing pollution mask while burning crackers in #gurgaon .#Irony died a painful death .#HappyDiwali

— Neeraj Khanna (@khannaneeraj) November 7, 2018

Everyone is choking, tho.

I just saw an 8-9 year old girl bursting crackers at 7 am this morning with a face mask on! Hat tip to the parents! Irony just choked on the pollution!

No words, tbh.
