Holi 2026

When the strife seems to have taken the entire world into its grip, the flavour and the mood of Holi, the festival of colour, joy and brotherhood certainly dampens. Under the circumstances, burning of Holika assumes more significance as we wish the evils such as wars, causing tremendous human suffering should perish in fire along with Holika! Let’s hope that good sense prevails on those calling shots and the entire mankind, so that we can enjoy life on this beautiful planet called earth.

Live and let others live on this beautiful planet,

By partaking all the Mother Nature has given to all of us;

Instead of killing others to satisfy our elephantine egos ,

And acquiring a better than others superior status.

Festivals like Holi teach us the spirit of brotherhood,

A much needed virtue in today’s fragmented world;

So that joy, happiness and prosperity prevail all over,

And the flag symbolising peace can be unfurled!

Happy Holi.
