I looked up https://aqicn.org at 8 PM on Saturday, and was happy to note that air quality in Hombegowdanagar, Bangalore, was “Moderate”. Usually, it would be Unsatisfactory on normal days. That it is Moderate on Deepavali is amazing. It shows the ability of the Govt and Corporation to control the usage of crackers and cooperation from the people. At this rate, India would progress fast! Perhaps this discipline also explains how India has been able to control the Covid-19 pandemic reasonably well.

It is a great site.
My sister is a bit of a sceptic. She says that the improvement
in air quality could be due to some rain we had yesterday. She says some parts of
Bangalore got some rain today too.
