Diwali is over and so is our reason to officially take any leaves in the name of festivals until Christmas; but what's left with all of us is a thick layer of smog and 'hazardous' air that we'll have to breathe on our way to work from now on. Well, thanks to the air quality, at least we can now apply for sick leaves.

According to the reports and surveys, Delhi's overall air quality index (AQI) was at 506, a day after Diwali. In the early hours, the AQI reached 999. So, unless you're really terrible in Mathematics, you can calculate how toxic the air has become for us.

When some people were busy bursting firecrackers and doing their bit to contribute to the already high air pollution in Delhi, there were some who were doing what they are good at - making hilarious memes on air quality. Soon, the hashtag #DelhiChokes started trending and while we were already coughing and sneezing in the 'hazardous' air, these hilarious made us choke more with laughter.
