Bohot badhiya! Holi is about positivity and new beginnings. Let's hope the politicians' greetings come with some substance this year. We need development, not just speeches. But still, Bura na mano, Holi hai! 😄

The true essence of Holi is being lost sometimes. It's about forgiveness and community, not just throwing colours. I appreciate the leaders reminding us to celebrate peacefully. Let's keep the water wastage low and the spirits high!
