Wish you a very happy holi......The strangest and gayest of all indian festivities. In my childhood I learned that all the hindu festivals prevalent today were earlier divided among the four categories befitting the four different caste during vedic days. According to the belief Rakshabandan was a festival of brahmins, Dusshera that of kshetrias, Diwali of banias and holi that of shudras. The common conduct observed during the celebration, was a derivative of the culture of the respective caste the festival belongs to. But In modern indian calendar every festival is celebrated by all the communities with equal joy and enthusiasm. So this is the reason why we have so many of festivities uniformly interspersed throughout the calendar.
I didn't agree with the classifcation of festivals according to different caste but i can surely classify the festivals according to the kind and character of the people they lures the most. Thinking that way Rakshabandhan can be said to be the festival of a brother & sister and the mystic love between them. Huh in my chilhood it used to be the only day of the year when we guys (me and my lil sis) used to escape a fight. Diwali in that way is for pretentious people with a great love to pomp & show. Dusshera is for those with a passion for violence that is probably the reason for involvement of so many of RSS members in the festival. At the end comes the beautiful festival of holi which is meant for down to earth fun loving junta. It is a festival of community which can't be enjoyed sitting back in your home or room. Its the festval which convert foes to freinds and strangers to aquaintances.
Kgp with a huge student community has a old and strong tradition of celebrating holi. Here sun rises too early on the day of holi and it comes with a big dose of fun and love which makes it a memorable day in your life. Its the day to loose control and do what ever you like doing and can't do it in the so called civilized world. Its the day to amble around the campus with literally nothing on your body. Its day to forget all your loads and commitments with a big dose
of bhang. In short it is the day to celebrate your life with all the colurs of youth and enthusiasm you have.
So lets come and celebrate this beautiful festival of colours and plz remember do not mind
anything as its Holi........Bura Na Maano Holi Hai.
So its already 2.o0 Pm on holi eve i can hear a loud sound of uproars from the nearby wing So it will be prudent to change into old attires and let the water raiders do whatever they want. once again a very happy holi to all...Ke rang barse..........
