If you want to give a gift to both your loved ones and the environment, this is a great time to consider some eco-friendly gifting ideas. 

Greens gifts for Diwali that produce zero waste

With the season of festivities, comes the season of gifting. If you want to give a gift to both your loved ones and the environment, here are some eco-friendly ideas to consider.
Pollution is a major problem around Diwali, so why not gift air-purifying plants like aloe vera, money plant or bamboo? Know someone who loves sipping on the go? Gift them resusable coffee mugs along with&nbsp;a set of reusable straws so that they never have to pick plastic again.&nbsp; Personal care products often come with a tonne of plastic packaging. To skip the waste, buy some colourful shampoo bars and gift away.&nbsp;
A packet of seeds for the garden or a set of fresh potted herbs will leave your foodie friends elated. Rosemary bushes or a thai basil will frequently make it to the dinner table.&nbsp; Finally, if you're looking for something traditional, go for 100% natural beeswax candles that are non-toxic and biodegradable and produce little smoke.

Air pollution in Delhi: The capital's 24-hour average air quality index (AQI) stood at 382 on Thursday, up from 314 on Wednesday. It was 303 on Tuesday and 281 on Monday

Delhi Air Pollution : Delhi gasps for air as cracker ban goes up in smoke, AQI 'severe'

Diwali 2021: Delhi gasps for air as cracker ban goes up in smoke, AQI 'severe'

The air in Delhi and surrounding areas hung heavy with acrid smoke as people burst firecrackers on Diwali in a blatant disregard to the government's ban on it amid a sharp increase in fumes from farm fires.
Continuing its upward trend, the city's air quality index, which stood at 382 at 4 pm, entered the severe zone around 8 pm as low temperature and wind speed allowed the accumulation of pollutants.
The neighbouring cities of Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon&nbsp;and Noida&nbsp;also recorded 'severe' air quality with crackers bursting peaking after 9 pm.
The Haryana government has also imposed a ban on the sale or use of all kinds of firecrackers in 14 of its districts in the National Capital Region, while curbs were put in other parts.
Experts said the air quality turned severe owing to unfavourable meteorological conditions -- calm winds, low temperature and low mixing height -- and a poisonous cocktail of emissions from firecrackers, stubble burning and local sources.
The city reported its first episode of fog on Thursday.&nbsp;
The capital's 24-hour average air quality index stood at 382 on Thursday, up from 314 on Wednesday. It was 303 on Tuesday and 281 on Monday.
An AQI between zero and 50 is considered 'good', 51 and 100 'satisfactory', 101 and 200 'moderate', 201 and 300 'poor', 301 and 400 'very poor', and 401 and 500 'severe'.
According to SAFAR model forecasts, stubble burning share may increase to 35 per cent on Friday and 40 per cent on Saturday with the wind direction changing to northwesterly.
Relief is expected only from the evening of November 7 but AQI will fluctuate within the 'very poor' range.

Delhi Air Pollution:&nbsp;Continuing its upward trend, the city's air quality index(AQI), which stood at 382 at 4 pm, entered the severe zone around 8 pm as low temperature and wind speed allowed the accumulation of pollutants.

People from several parts of the city and its suburbs complained of itchy throat and watery eyes, as a layer of smog, the first episode this season, lingered over the region.
Residents of Lajpat Nagar in South Delhi, Burari in North Delhi, Paschim Vihar in West Delhi and Shahdara in East Delhi reported incidents of firecracker bursting as early as 7 pm, despite the blanket ban in the national capital till January 1, 2022.
A substantial dip in cracker bursting in the evening seemed a break from tradition. But it did not take long for the sound of explosions to pierce the silence, a resident of Kailash Hills said.
Several incidents of high-intensity cracker bursting were reported from Gurgaon and Faridabad.
The Haryana government has also imposed a ban on the sale or use of all kinds of firecrackers in 14 of its districts in the National Capital Region, while curbs were put in other parts.
Experts said the air quality turned severe owing to unfavourable meteorological conditions -- calm winds, low temperature and low mixing height -- and a poisonous cocktail of emissions from firecrackers, stubble burning and local sources.
Earlier in the day, the city reported its first episode of fog which lowered visibility at the Indira Gandhi International Airport and the Safdarjung Airport to the range of 600-800 metres in the morning.
It continued to remain in the poor range of 800-900 meters throughout the day due to calm wind conditions, senior <a href="https://www.editorji.com/india-news/uttarakhand-47-dead-in-rain-related-incidents-imd-predicts-drier-days-1634697264961" target="_blank">IMD </a>scientist R K Jenamani said.
The first episode of smog coincided with the share of farm fires in Delhi's pollution increasing to the season's highest at 25 per cent.
Gufran Beig, the founder-project director of SAFAR, said the PM2.5 pollution will shoot up rapidly by Friday early morning with the AQI even crossing the 500 mark.
According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the 24-hour average PM2.5 concentration in Delhi-NCR rose from 243 micrograms per cubic meter at 6 pm to 263 micrograms per cubic meter at 9 pm, more than four times the safe limit of 60 micrograms per cubic meter.

It was 303 on Tuesday and 281 on Monday.
An AQI between zero and 50 is considered 'good', 51 and 100 'satisfactory', 101 and 200 'moderate', 201 and 300 'poor', 301 and 400 'very poor', and 401 and 500 'severe'.
According to SAFAR model forecasts, stubble burning share may increase to 35 per cent on Friday and 40 per cent on Saturday with the wind direction changing to northwesterly.
Northwesterly winds carry smoke from farm fires in Punjab and Haryana towards the national capital.
Relief is expected only from the evening of November 7 but AQI will fluctuate within the 'very poor' range, the air quality forecast agency said.
Last year, the share of stubble burning in Delhi's pollution had peaked at 42 per cent on November 5. In 2019, crop residue burning accounted for 44 per cent of Delhi's PM2.5 pollution on November 1.
The contribution of stubble burning in Delhi's PM2.5 concentration was 32 per cent on Diwali day last year as compared to 19 per cent in 2019.
On October 27, the Delhi government had launched the 'Patakhe Nahi Diye Jalao' campaign to create awareness against the bursting of crackers. Under the campaign, action can be taken under relevant IPC provisions and the Explosives Act against anyone found burning crackers.
According to the government, more than 13,000 kg of illegal firecrackers have been seized and 33 people arrested so far under the anti-cracker campaign.

Delhi Air Quality Index: air quality forecast agency SAFAR said stubble burning accounted for 6 per cent of the PM2.5 pollution in Delhi on Tuesday.

Diwali 2021:&nbsp;Also referred to as the festival of lights, Diwali&nbsp;is one of the most widely celebrated festivals in India. This year Diwali&nbsp;shall be celebrated on 4th November.&nbsp;

While this is the main and well-known&nbsp;narrative that has been going on for years, this year let's take a look at some of the lesser-known&nbsp;stories of Diwali.
<h3>Lord Krishna defeated demon Narakasur</h3>
According to Hindu mythology, immersed in power, the demon king, Naraksura&nbsp;was&nbsp;arrogant and ruthless.&nbsp;He even enslaved 16,000 women. Lord Vishnu in his 8th incarnation as Krishna defeated the monster&nbsp;Narkasura.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>Mahavira attained Niravana</h3>
As per Jain Dharma, the festival of Diwali commemorates Mahavira's attainment of moksha (salvation).&nbsp;Mahavira urged people to abandon superstition and blind faith by encouraging a more compassionate way of life.&nbsp;
<h3>Coronation of King Vikramaditya</h3>
On Diwali, King Vikramaditya is said to have ascended to the throne. He was the emperor of Ujjain and was known for his strength, valour and wisdom.&nbsp;
Owing to the diversity and large expanse of India, there are numerous more narratives and traditions carved around the auspicious&nbsp;day of Diwali.&nbsp;

2021 has been a tough year for the entertainment industry. After two years of a Covid-induced lockdown, the film industry is slowly getting back to normalcy with theatres re-opening and business picking up slowly.
But unlike pre-Covid times, there is zero buzz around Diwali&nbsp;parties in&nbsp;tinsel town this year. Every year, the paparazzi is in overdrive, hopping from one lavish Diwali&nbsp;party to the other.&nbsp;The glamour at these parties remain in focus for weeks that follow.
Bollywood&nbsp;watchers are citing many reasons for the muted Diwali&nbsp;celebrations this year.&nbsp;
Probably, the biggest of them being that the entertainment industry has been under the scanner of law enforcement agencies like the NCB&nbsp;and the ED.
First came Aryan Khan's arrest in the cruise ship drugs case, then&nbsp;Chunky Panday's daughter and actress Ananya&nbsp;Panday&nbsp;was also linked to the same case, citing WhatsApp chats between the two. With this high profile case, a pail of gloom descended on B-town biggies and reports say many stars are giving big parties a miss.

Realme Book Slim ₹44,999 (Core i3 + 256GB)
A good laptop has become a necessity in the age of lockdowns and WFH. If that old laptop just isn&rsquo;t cutting it anymore, the Realme Book Slim is a good upgrade to a modern machine that won&rsquo;t break the bank. Powered by up to an 11th-gen Intel Core i5 processor, and featuring a 14-inch 1440p display, coupled with 8GB RAM and up to 512GB SSD storage, the Realme Book Slim is undoubtedly a fast laptop.

You can safeguard your health and help control ambient temperature with the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Air Purifier. The device senses and reports 4 different pollutants - PM2.5, PM10, VOCs, NO2 - in real time, and it&rsquo;s vacuum sealed filters capture 99.95% of ultrafine particles such as allergens and pollutants. The device can also heat up a room in winter, and release a cool stream of air in the summer. And it doesn&rsquo;t hurt that the striking design makes it look like something out of a sci-fi film. The Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Air Purifier can be purchased for ₹39,900.
 Keychron K2 V2 ₹6,899 (White backlight)
For anyone who types a lot of words per day, switching to the mechanical keyboard is one of the easiest and best upgrades to quality of life. Mechanical keyboards use individual switches under each key, rather than the rubber membrane used by most other keyboards. These switches physically move with each keypress, offering a tactile feel and response, greatly improving the typing experience. The Keychron K2 V2 is a popular wireless mechanical keyboard, that starts from ₹6,899. It has a 240-hour battery life, and customisable switches according to the user&rsquo;s preference. It can be purchased from keychron.in.
Logitech C920 HD Pro Webcam ₹9,000
With work-from-home now a commonplace activity, Zoom meetings have become a norm. But most laptop webcams aren&rsquo;t built for quality, making that important presentation look a little blurry. The Logitech C920 HD Pro webcam can help make meetings, presentations, and personal video calls look impressive with its full-HD video quality. It can automatically adjust your video to look brighter even in low-light, and dual mics capture stereo sound while tuning out background noise. The Logitech C920 HD Pro webcam can be purchased for around ₹9,000 from major e-commerce websites.
