I was in Delhi during the diwali celebrations. The air smells like half-burned logwood. I initially thought that someone in the neighbourhood has lit fallen leaves on fire. Little did I know that farmers all around the city are lighting crop stubbles. Come diwali eve and the air turned acrid, a poisonous cocktail of burnt diesel particles, smoke and smell of burnt gun-powder. It was a real Nasty experience (it's way worse than my experience in Inland Empire CA in summer). Even Google weather shows the weather condition as "smoke".
