The exuberant colours of Holi exude the vitality of spring, the vibrancy of life and a celebration of the richness of harvest. The festival arrives when the placid winter fades away and the effervescence of spring adds fresh colours in nature. With nature blooming in all its hues, the time is perfect to colour the atmosphere with the fun filled colours of Holi.
This is the time when everyone drowns in the mirthful revelry of the festival of colours. While it stands for “party time” for the city slickers, celebrating the onset of springtime is the real essence of the festival of colours. Soaked in the joyful spirit, the faces go beyond recognition with sprayed colours, clothes looking like drenched unacceptable rags, hair in disarray – but the spirit soaked in the joyful essence of the festival with laughing eyes, gyrations to music and utter glee on the faces. This is Holi.

So it is that time of the year again when gulal and gujiya, pichkari and pakora vie for our attention even as many among us try to match steps with each other to the beats of “Rang barse.”
HAPPY HOLI to all
