Khul Ke Khelo Holi

When one talks about festival, the first word that comes to my mind is family! Any festival without your family is no fun, no celebration or rather very dull. I am sure many people might oppose my view however personally for me that’s how it is! I am a person who loves celebrating all festivals and occasions, I hold no discrimination or don’t hold back myself from celebrating Diwali, Holi, Ramadan, Christmas or any other festival.

To me each festival is more time with family and friends and more togetherness. I enjoy every moment I spend during such occasions, as it is one such time or period where everyone forgets all their sorrows and indulges in the spirit of festivity. It is that time of the year again where we wish to forget all our worries and differences and look forward to celebrate a festival full of joy and happiness.

Yes folks, it’s time for Happy Holi! The festival of colours and pichkari’s. A festival full of life and togetherness. Since childhood I have always loved playing with colours and that’s one reason why I love the festival so much. I believe colours bring in a lot of positivity and good vibes. Each colour has its own significance and presence. Each colour spreads more move and more joy.
Besides, India being a country which has the world’s largest democracy where people of all different cast, creed and religion exist and live together in the land where there is equality and place for all. Indians have always been ahead in hospitality and that’s the main reason why we see India celebrating so many festivals and cultures. Being born and bought up in this multi-cultural environment I have always loved every festival. Having said that each festival also calls for more and more sweets and delicacies. This year too I plan to celebrate my holi with my loved ones, ensuring playing a safe holi.

Let me share one such memorable holi year where I was out on the roads and the beach, screaming it out to the world, Khul Ke Khelo Holi! It was during my 10th standard board exams where we got a break for holi in between the exams, having said that, the best way to take that break was by celebrating and making the best of the festival. So well, me and my friends decided to start off with the usual throwing of colours, of course by keeping in mind the normal oiling of the hair as a precaution. After the throwing of colours was over, we straight away decided to head towards this pool party which was happening near the beach and had awesome music.

We being a little high on the holi ka bhang, made full use of the pool party and just crashed the party. It was one such holi that I would never forget, the amazing music, the innocence of crashing into a party, the bhang and just being a free spirit. Of course we were totally safe and got back home to get back to the study mode, but this is one holi where I totally left myself loose and felt amazing just being there in the open and celebrating the occasion with full spirit. That was my Khul Ke Khelo Holi! I look forward to such craziness this year too! Wishing you all a very happy Khul Ke Khelo Holi celebration.
