Holi has always been my favorite festival since childhood days.Holi is popular since ages and Holi of Brij nd Vrindavan is famous throughout the globe.The tradition began with Lord Krishna who used to play Holi with Gopis.
At that time Holi was played with gulal and essence of natural flowers.Same tradition is flowing through our nerves and aroma of this festival is spread in our senses.
I was also find of Holi and used to enjoy all shades of this festival in the company of my friends and siblings. The preparation started in advance with collection of money saved out if pocket money.Colourful ballons,pitchkaris and colours distracted us and every evening there was a meeting regarding purchase of items for fun on the day of Holi.
Very old dress was taken out for the day as it was supposed to get tie die.In the day buckets ,tubs were filled with water and colours were mixed to give shade to fun of holi.Next was gurella technique to wait for passer by and attack him with ballons filled with water.The gestures of passerby after attck amused us and that happiness was so precious which cannot be bought by spending dollars.
A few years later technique of Holi changed.Now passerby did not remain our target rather flock of friends while wet and in coloured dresses went to every friends house to grab her out and apply all colours, eggs,black polish etc.The friend who used to confine in house remained cut off from group for more couple of days.Thus Holi was not for Holi but jawani ki huddang .Bura naa nano Holi hai.
After marriage my husband never initiated to play Holi and remained away from colours and all.Time was flying.My children never got such chance to enjoy the festival due to restrictions imposed by their father. Myself too remained indifferent.
I have no words to thank Blog adda who has given ignition to my suppressed feelings of Holi.Infact it has taken me back in my childhood. And I am determined that this year Holi is going to be remarkable festival.I have sorted out list of my friends for a great get together at Holi at my place. There will be hilarious fun with gulal,colours and indeed thandai and rocking music.On this Hoki I would request my friends and readers to take a resolution that we won't waste water and play dry Holi this year Although water is a natural resource of water but there are so many people in many parts of country who are deprived of drinking water.Si we have no right to waste it.Rather we should come forward conservation if drinking water.
With this feel ,let us celebrate Holi with true spirit and enjoy every Hue & shade of Holi this year.
