Diwali is probably the most awaited festival in India. The festival is celebrated with great jubilation all across the country by illuminating houses and surroundings with lights and diyas, and burning crackers. And there comes the problem.

Being adults we are capable of safeguarding ourselves from possible hazards, but the kids might not be. And so it becomes our responsibility to take care the the children are safe while indulging themselves in Diwali dhamaal.
Here are some safety tips:
