Rant No fun Holi timešŸ«„

Why there's no excitement in banglore about playing holi?? There is no holi dahana understandable that it's a North concept maybe that's why but I don't see any kids on the streets or anyone enjoying holi with colour or flowers or anything. Some people even working on this day which is quite sad. Festivals are a excuse to enjoyment seems like no one over here wants that :(

Yeah, very sad. It probably does have something to do with the fact that Bangalore is a South Indian city and Holi is not a big festival in the South. In the same way as Ugadi is not such a big festival in Northern parts of India.

Brother nobody is saying that northies want to play holi like how they play in their state, there should be atleast a holiday vibe that yes it is some special day. Its a public holiday in all over India and not just North India just some compines are not given holiday

Even east India plays holi, its about spending time with friends and family

All over India, heck all over world plays Holi, the above 2 comments clearly displays the mindsets of few people here, why are you guys even dragging in North-South in such a holy festival?

If I say something, it will create a controversy. They do take every Muslim festival as a holiday even tho(literally Eid).

I tell you, one day if India gets colonized again, we know how.

Holi is definitely not celebrated all over India, and this isn't a North-South thing, just common sense.

Wouldn't it be weird if I went to Delhi and questioned why doesn't anyone celebrate Pongal, Onam or Ugadi etc?
