Happy Holi

I got my third mithai ka dabba of the day just five minutes back and it is when I decided to put up my third post of the day!!!As we all know, today is Holi.But I sometimes wonder whether we have lost its significance over the period of time. Everyone makes the festival look so good with all the colors and splendor. A day full of sweets, delicacies, visiting relatives and acquaintances. And everyone is supposed to have a great time. Holi, is about forgetting the ill-will towards anyone and making a new beginning(at least a part of it is bout doing so).Or as I feel, is it the beginning of the end? It has reduced to an instance of social gathering where you stand up to be counted among the one present. You make this festival so colorful and after that, forget all about it. I mean, there's so much paucity of time in everyone's lives that one doesn't even know when a neighbour meets an accident. Then what goodness is there all about? Just sending a box of mithai and playing for two hours with colony people doesn't make for Holi. Then there are people who do exactly the opposite of what holi demands. I've seen some people. They will shout at each other, have a squabble over petty things, but on the day of holi, it's all fine! They are the best buddies you can see. And you feel, it's all fine now. But what you see the next day. Wahi Ramayana wapas repeated!
