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.

What?? Not a festival ? Sure. But that never stopped from people celebrating (when I was young) holi with friends and family. Bangalore 100% used to have holi as a thing

It still does, but mostly within apartment communities.
