Today is Deepavali here in India. Every nook and corner will be lit and display of fireworks seen all over. It is the sound of crackers that I detest. No amount of advice will reduce this menace both adults and children over indulging in it.
I used to play this video clip when Charlie the monkey was seen on our terrace. I just wanted him to get back to the trees which he used to. He was scared of the cracker sound. .
Happy Deepavali!!

@salonga It is too loud in cities and I just hate the noise. I do not mind fire works per se.

It is traumatic for animals specially dogs but there is nothing one can do to eliminate this nuisance.

@allknowing Dogs were the ones I was thinking of. They have no way of knowing what's going on.

You can say that again about dogs. But Preiti does not seem to mind.

I love fireworks, although the noise can really upset some people and animals.
