While I appreciate the greetings, I wish there was more concrete action from the government on controlling the synthetic colours and water wastage that happen every year. Speeches are good, but policies are better.

The emphasis on truth over falsehood is so relevant today. Holi isn't just about playing with colours; it's a deep philosophical festival. Hope everyone internalizes this message. Happy Dhulendi!
