As
students we began to believe that the world consisted of two sets of
people one set being that of simple fun loving souls like us children
who would look forward to the festival of Holi and indulge in
playful fun and revelry and on the other side would be the set of
people who were against any kind of carefree living and fun. These
were the adults who stopped us from having so much fun. Had it not
been the case then why would these so called adults schedule our
exams just around Holi time. It is the ultimate torture for any
student having to study on the Day of Holi when the rest of the world
is celebrating the festival of colors. Perhaps the adults got some
sadistic fun by trying to keep us away from all that carefree fun. In
those years of innocent fun our free spirited souls were in no mood
to bow down or tied by rules and restrictions and we invariably
devised ways to escape the mundane life of a student and had a good
Holi celebration. I remember playing prank on teachers who were
strict and did not permit us to play Holi. There used to be a friend
of mine who would buy a lot of colors and throw them on us and when
we used to go to play Holi with him he would simply Hide or start
complaining to his parents about our attempts of trying to play Holi
with him. To get even with these tactics of his we worked out a plan.
Firstly we took away some of his own colors when he was not looking
and put them in his water tank. We made it a point that none of us
friends went near his home and remained clear of the range of his
balloon shots. Then we started playing Holi amongst us friends giving
him the royal ignore.At some point he would have decided to go in and
have his bath then emerged our friend all colored in a deep shade of
blue. Looking at this state of his we could not stop laughing. It was
our sweet revenge. Then we invited him down and he joined the fun and
we played Holi till late evening. Holi is the day that one should let
loose the child like innocence and surrender to the spirit of Holi.
Unfortunately in the fast paced life of the current times we are
getting lesser and lesser opportunities to relax and have fun times
with family and friends. This Holi we are planning a get together in
our colony where one can indulge in playing Holi with friends and
neighbors so the theme this year for our Holi celebration is
#KhulKeKheloHoli so that we may be able to relive the childlike
innocence of yesteryear's rather then becoming those set of adults
who were against any kind of fun we youngsters always wanted to have.
“I’m pledging to #KhulKeKheloHoli this year by sharing my Holi memories at BlogAdda in association with Parachute Advansed.”
