A day full of Holi greetings from all near and dear. The warmth of the greetings combined with the thought that for the next few days people in India and many around the world were going to be celebrating this beautiful festival of colours made me feel happy and also sparked a little thought in me.
The innocent mischievousness within the most mature adults pouring out like little kids on the playground, the children running helter-skelter with handfull of sweets filled with their mothers love for them, everyones pure white clothing soon becoming a canvas of satrangi (seven) colours, the sweet and spicy flavour of thandaai (or bhaangh) cooling everyones tongues, smiles and laughter shining on each and every face. The high from all the joy and celebration of togetherness is most defiantly a precious feeling.
All of which also made me realize that there is so much to learn from this festival, if our life was a giant canvas and we the painters, then would we be satisfied with a black and white painting or would we paint our canvas with all the possible colours that we could find to make it as interesting and fulfilling as possible? For those of us who believe in a creator of the universe- a supreme power- source of all energy "GOD" if he is providing us with the colours, then there must be a reason for every colour that he gives us and it is up to us to realize its strengths and weaknesses, embrace its beauty and celebrate its existence.
May this festival of Holi- colour
every eye in the colour of wisdom,
every tongue in the colour of love,
every hand in the colour of togetherness,
every heart in the colour of strength,
& every soul in the colour of purity.
