ravishingravi Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Mark my words. Kohli is done. Anything that lecherous left lib gang of Bollywood touches will wilt. People are waiting to pick him apart on cricketing side too. It’s just matter of time. nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't explode. Or burst. And doesn't emit sound comparable to the regular firecrackers. Edited March 19, 2021 by Mariyam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s the only water that Virat Kohli consumes, bottled water by Evain obtained from Évian-Les-Bains, which is situated on the south shore of Lake Geneva 2. Virat Kohli fined ₹500 for washing car with drinking water during peak summer with many parts of India in middle of drought 3. Fuel guzzling cars 4. Regular user of chartered planes very common, even recently Virat Kohli took a separate chartered plane to Dubai than RCB for IPL 2020 RCB squad one plane, separate plane for this eco-activist, cos plane runs on seawater, no? 5. Wasting of cakes for every small event, while so many Indians go to sleep hungry. What is the carbon footprint of cake making? What purpose does it serve other than eating, is it a makeup cream, sunscreen? Does smearing it on other players' faces improve performance? Recently in UAE, his birthday 6. Crackers in his own birthday Virat ‘Hypocrite’ Kohli: Fans Slam India Skipper For Message On Diwali Just Days After He Celebrated Birthday With Firecrackers 7. Does his 7000 sq ft luxury pad run without electricity? Or his previous house with monthly rent 15 lakh rupees LINK 8. Did his Italy wedding reduce carbon footprint? Couldn't he have done it in nearest marriage hall like other common Indians? Private jets, flowers/chefs/hairstylists flown from halfway across the globe... Eco friendly? 9. Has he taken a stance when it comes to brands he endorses? Is he aware of environmental impact of packaging? Does he endorse eco-friendly products? 10. Don't remember him taking a stance during the IPL vs Maharashtra drought debate couple of years back. 11. Animals are scared of sound but not when they get their throats slit, right? Birds get burns due to crackers but elites only consume vegetarian chicken? Many Hollywood celebs do the same, daytime yacht trip, evening private charter jet, night time lecture about global warming and renewable energy. Like Leo Caprio the fraud. Anushka is even a bigger hypocrite than her husband. Anyway why do these celebs/elites get so preachy when they don't set shining examples? Why does this sight trigger someone like Kohli so much? When he is perfectly ok with this? Not a single complaint, no open letter, no SM gyan, no reco/advice to GC Or in RCB's home stadium In RCB colours For many middle class and poor children bursting a couple of crackers once a year gives them fleeting moments of happiness. If they have health problems their parents will deal with it and take precautions, there are govt rules, green crackers available etc. Anyway the assertion that stubble/garbage burning, vehicular/industrial pollution, construction activities throughout the year aren't the problem but bursting crackers for 2 hours on one particular day is the sole reason for all environmental issues that humanity faces......well that can be handled in a separate thread. Or how an industry with a million employees is being threatened by arbitrary, unscientific bans (judicial overreach, police excesses.....) another topic. Does Kohli (as an extension elites, celebs, even many of our close ones) have any right to guilt trip commoners about environment without correcting his ways first?

BacktoCricaddict Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) 8 hours ago, beetle said: Sugar kills more people .... True that sugar is be highly detrimental to one's health and it is bad advice to say "eat more sugar." But this should not be seen as a "sugar vs fireworks" binary argument. By acknowledging that fireworks in dense locations are a significant source of pollution, we are not dismissing other environmental or health detriments like sugar, stubble-burning, vehicular particulates etc. All of them, fireworks included, are health hazards. In all of this back and forth about firecrackers, it must be acknowledged that the point itself - that high-density firecracker use does contribute to pollution - is a valid one. My father was an asthmatic and, for that reason, we did not do fireworks in our house during Deepavali. We just lit lamps. He would give us money that we would otherwise spend on firecrackers to put in the local temple's Hundi. For those 2-3 days every year, he suffered a great deal from the smoke and odours from neighbours bursting them in large numbers in densely populated areas. For that reason, I am sensitive to the hidden havoc that fireworks can cause. So, IMHO, the message itself is not the issue. Rather, the issue is with lack of credibility of the celebrities who are lecturing people with this message. Are they doing anything actively to stop the use of fireworks in their own celebrations? Practicing other environmentally friendly practices? If not, they should be prepared to get called out for their hypocrisy.

beetle Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Personally ,I love the less cracker diwali or any celebration without crackers. I am against the complete ban as it is undemocratic and also the ease with which only hindu festivals are targeted. Would love to see the animal rights activist get involved during animal sacrifice . The hypocrisy that is involved is what is irritating. As for crackers...i think a more reasonable thing to do is to decide which ones can be used . Get the manufactureres involved in making more environmental friendly crackers. Decide how loud,how big they can be and then set a decent timing for people to enjoy. 1-2 hrs of green crackers is better than taking away people's right to celebrate.

And none of these should be "rules." The focus should be on creating awareness - led by EFCC ministry. Nudge people into realizing that there are cleaner ways of doing exactly what you did. It may take a couple of generations, but will eventually work better than banning or forcing people to do something that they think infringes on their rights.

In my place sacrifices were very common .....now they are rare.Only done on special pujas that happen in decades. Most festivals are veg even in homes that are usually non vegetarians. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
