In recent days it is very often observable that uh. In so many places we suffer with lot of noises whether we like it or not. But uh. We are not able to do anything with uh. In order to deal with that kind of situations. So today I’d like to mention about uh, jagataa that is well known is something uh. That is our. In our ritual that in hindu mythology that is some kind of praying. And it is uh, long lasting. It uh, was started uh, 08:00 p.m. in the afternoon. And it was continued and uh, end at uh, near about 05:00 a.m. m in the next day, morning. So it took place in my neighborhood at the time I was not able to do anything. And uh, I tried to sleep all over the night but uh. It was not possible, not for me as well as for our family members. And uh, we tried by closing our windows and doors very carefully and we have covered all the openings so that uh, noise should not uh, enter in our. Inside our rooms. But uh. We failed to do such uh, precautions after that. I also use my earphones so that uh, I can uh, listen to a. My. Listen to my favorite song and can sleep peacefully. But it was also not possible. So the noise level was too high. And uh. The governments are uh, not very careful about this kind of situations. Although plenty of rules are there that after night twelve, no one uh, no one are allowed to play a loudspeaker. It can cause several harmful effects for uh, every individual such as heart attack or hearing issues. And it can create an anxiety. And uh, if uh, people is not able to sleep very peacefully at night then at that uh, the following day they are not able to work very efficiently. So I believe there must uh, be some. The restrictions and those rules are implemented must be followed very strictly. I spoke to my uncle and uh. He uh, explained that he live in Canada. And uh, it was the uh, it is a place where noise level is uh, under control. And even though people did not use a lot of uh, car horns distill, they did not face any kind of uh, traffic congestions for over a long period of time. So I’m planning to move to that location so that in order to get uh, relaxation I believe that is the best.

I've noticed that noise is a common problem these days. It seems like everywhere we go, we're bombarded with noise, whether we like it or not. And unfortunately, there's not much we can do about it. I want to talk about a specific experience I had during a religious festival called Jagrata. This festival is a Hindu tradition that involves a long period of prayer and chanting. It started around 8:00 PM and continued until about 5:00 AM the next morning. The festival took place in my neighborhood, and I couldn't escape the noise. I tried to sleep through the night, but it was impossible for me and my family. We closed our windows and doors tightly, covering every opening to block out the noise, but it was no use. I even tried using my earphones to listen to music and fall asleep, but the noise was just too loud. It's frustrating that the government doesn't seem to take noise pollution seriously. Even though there are rules against using loudspeakers after midnight, they're rarely enforced. Excessive noise can have serious consequences for our health, including heart attacks, hearing problems, and anxiety. When people can't sleep properly at night, they're not able to function effectively the next day. I believe stricter regulations and enforcement are necessary to address this issue. My uncle, who lives in Canada, told me that noise levels are much better controlled there. Even though people don't use car horns as much, they don't experience traffic congestion for long periods. I'm considering moving to Canada to find some peace and quiet. It seems like the best solution for me.
