Happy Holi - Different Folks Different Strokes. Poem by Hardik Vaidya

Holi is a festival of Colors. Like all festivals in the great Bharatavarsha or India, there is always a bit of mythology or a story associated with them. This was before the press evolved and hence to carry the meaning it needed a vehicle to be embedded. The mythology was just a vehicle. As it normally happens, marketing is always sharp, and with time, this strategy perhaps failed because the story became the message and its purpose of being a pure vehicle got a little defeated.

The core concept of Holi is to dance with the commencement of Spring, Spring the change of season is again a metaphor, it commemorates the change of a mindset, a change from self to all embracing, seeing a commonality extending from your own limited boundaries to all, everything.

Happy Holi to all.
