Diwali shows brighter and beautiful side of Gurugram
Gurugram: If the poor air quality was the negative side of the Diwali side, there was also a brighter side.
A lot of condominium societies and commercial complexes rather than spending a large amount of money on the crackers spent more on the expensive lightings and in turn, showed the beautiful side of Gurugram.
For long the focus of pollution has been restricted to the national capital. What however, is forgotten is that Gurugram by various agencies has now been tagged as the most polluted city not only in the national capital region.
The deadly levels of air pollution has allowed the residents to explore alternate ways of celebrating their Diwali.
Most of the residential condominiums and plush corporate offices and glitzy malls have invested amounts in lighting their complexes. Some of the areas where the display of great lighting can be seen are Cybercity, Sohna Road, Golf Course road.
Most of the office, complexes had begun lighting up their structure two weeks in advance which became a major source of attraction. For most of the multinational companies' innovative forms, Diwali lightings become a major form of attractions for the people to visit and take photographs of their complexes.
Most of the residents took to social media and shared the sparkle and the beauty of Gurugram because of Diwali lightings. For a city that is known for partying hard, residents of Gurugram have also begun hosting a large number of Diwali parties.
In these parties, Karaoke nights have become extremely popular. Most of the food caterers and stage singers have already begun upping their rates as most of them have been hired for Diwali parties.
In order to make the kids not burst crackers most of the condominiums are also holding special functions in their residential societies.
"The USP of Gurugram is its fancy highrises and lighting of these areas enhances the beauty of the city. In times when the levels of pollution is extremely high alternate ways of celebrating your Diwali should be explored," said Ranjan Sachdeva, a city resident.
