AFTERTHOUGHTS OF HOLI

Sulochana's picture

THE whole country celebrated the auspicious festivel of colours and warmth . People were seen drenched in colours, and colour(?)ed water . In some places people appeared in front of the news channel cameras all smitten by thandai and bhang . Even the hard core news reporters seen reporting in a way that they could not be said to be the news reporters without the logo of their channel on the microphone .

So it is sure that more and more people are involved in this festivel . While we are happy watching people indifferent to their religion participating in the fun and contributing to the national integrety , we are also scared to watch the spirit of holi players changing every passing year . They are getting more and more aggressive while getting intimate with people who are not willing to play the colours and more bold while using the drinks giving more 'high' . Even the the span of Holi is increasing day by day . Holi starts in the offices even before the exact day because most offices have the day as a holiday .

It's is a great festivel to reduce our differences , enjoy colours , friendship and good food , and to remember the the win of goodness over badness . But at the same time we should not forget about the harms that uncautious play of this festivel may bring to our lives . The harmful ingredients , throwing of objects and roping unwilling people to the fun are not the exact spirit of Holi . Before getting drenched into the carnival of colours we should give these matters a thought .

one should give a thought to such after effects than to simply play in a rough n ruthless manner...as HOLI IS A FESTIVAL OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP..if the spirit is lost in playing then there is no point celebrating it either

Happy holi

Holi is the festival of colour with love but in this festival some of people are used to in bad sence that is very bad
