Gone in 60 minutes

The box of assorted fireworks we bought for Diwali - Sparklers, Flower Pots, Pencils, Hydrogen Bombs, Rockets, Hitler and Peacock crackers, Goa and Sparrow bombs, Serpents, color changing butterflys and the tug of wars.



Gone in 60 minutes.

All that was left were dust, torn bits of paper, ash, a ringing sound in our ears, and broad happy smiles on our faces.
