ASHES

threw some water or color on some of the women of his area. In that light I believe Holi is a celebration of eve-teasing. Well to an extent it is. To cap it the slogan goes as

I hate that helpless feeling where no one would understand that you just don’t like it. In fact you are considered stupid for not celebrating the ‘festival’. I like the fact that it brings an opportunity to talk to relatives, old friends and in fact neighbors. But I hate it when someone puts color on me and you can’t get mad as it is holi. I think if I have to kill someone then I would like to kill that person for throwing color on me on holi.

I think a festival should bring you happiness and not a constant sense of fear and apprehension of where the next attack would be. I haven’t played holi in years. There is only one of my uncles who comes to our place every holi puts colors on us. Since he is older I can’t revolt, so I just go through a few moments of sulking, and when he goes I take a bath, and get on with the rest of the day. I have no real belief in god, or god stories. But if this one is to be believed then Krishna
was the biggest cheat there ever was. He did everything just to get his goal even if he had to use deceit. Why hindus call him a god is beyond me. I think he was a plain human with super powers. So while the powers themselves did some good things, by the time he grew old the humane side took control and cheating was the only thing he could do.

I hope everyone had a good day at Holi, but if unfortunately someone didn’t don’t worry. Good time will come. This time holi was on a Sunday, so it was all the more useless.

P.S. past another landmark, 175 hours since I last smoked….watch out Viru here I come.
