Hey, folks! Hope you had a blast celebrating Diwali this week (pun not intended). And it goes without saying that the fest was also the talk of Twitter town, albeit for the wrong reasons, it seems. So if you couldn’t see past a few blocks in your neighbourhood and had difficulty driving, you know what to blame - firecrackers. No wonder the twitterati has expressed its displeasure at the rising pollution levels after Diwali. We bring you the week in tweets.

I can't see the Noida Stadium which is ~200-300m away from me as the crow flies.#smog #noida

If you burnt a single cracker - shame on you.
Just drove an Air purifier at 60km/hr and reached home. The air my car emitted, is cleaner than the air I am breathing #Gurgaon

Why do police wait for complaints of stubble-burning when it's happening all around us #Noida #GreaterNoida? Can't they see for themselves?
