To, Holi

Colours are exciting. Some people Love Holi and some people can’t stand to be coloured. I will not force my opinions on you. You could be the onlooker who looks on from his balcony and you could also be the ecstatic participant jumping in the center of the celebration. What doesn’t change is the essence of the day. You may be the one who dances and sings aloud from dusk till dawn to Rang Barse, because when have we ever completed a Holi function without that. , You could also be the one who is there only for that treat of delicious Gujiya. You could be the one who chills in his bedroom drinking your beverage of choice the next day with family and friends, and you could also be the one who struggles to get the colour off of your back for the coming many many weeks. What doesn’t change, is the fact that this is one of the most beautiful festivals in the world. This is a time when we all let go of prejudices, creeds, castes, and discrimination. This is the festival that can bring together strangers, uniting the rich and poor, men and women, children and elders — people who might not mingle otherwise. Everyone can celebrate a festival as per will. What doesn’t change for anyone is the feeling of fulfilment and love.
What doesn’t change is the oneness.
What doesn’t change is the brilliant taste of that gujiya which you will all enjoy equally. Never does the essence of bringing people together ring truer than at this time.
