HaPpY Holi

इक बूँद इश्कियां डाल कोई..
मेरे सातों समंदर जायें रंग..
मेरी हद भी रंग.. सरहद भी रंग दे...
हद रंग दे.. अनहद भी रंग दे..
मंदिर... मस्जिद... मयकद रंग.. रंगरेज़ मेरे...

समस्त प्रियजन को होली की हार्दिक शुभकामनायें..

I think Holi is the most beautiful and socially significant of all festivals in our religion. 

Most of the other festivals are family-friends get together and involves certain rituals. People are all decked up in the best of attires, everyone showsoff, a lot of comparison happens and in the process people end up developing complexities of various kinds. There is hardly any one to one involvement and most often an expensive affair.

But when it comes to personal participation and involvement, i think Holi scores over all the other festivals. Firstly its an economic festival. You don't need new clothes and make up on you. All you need is 2 packs of colors and a bucket of water and you can get happily involved in the celebration. Secondly, it is the only festival which helps a person lose his ego; at least temporarily. What ego will you have when you are painted dark purple and blue and no one is able to recognize you. That 'I' ness is immediately lost in most of the people. That is why we can see that people involved in the celebration always break into a dance, no matter how good or bad they dance, but they dance. It is temporary freedom and loss of ego. 

While most of the other festivals end up in pomp and boisterous showoffs, Holi works the other way round. Unfortunately, the spirit of the festival has been intruded into by hooligans and anti-social elements. Eve teasing, molestation, use of chemicals and acids and other dirty substances has instilled fear in the minds of simple people who would like to venture out and enjoy Holi.

so enjoy the holi may god bless you all . 

Happy Holi to all Indians and to specially my friends
