This Diwali, the two-hour window to burst crackers set by the Supreme Court and a crackdown on pollutants may give a new lease of life to Assam's traditional produce which, in one case at least, is made with a formula that is 130-year-old and villagers claim that this is exactly what the top court wants -- green crackers. Since 1885, the residents of Ganakkuchi village have been making toobris or flower pots with a traditional formula that's low noise, no flame, no chemicals, but turns Diwali into a starry night.
