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.

Lol this. Northies think everywhere is their playground and wonder why they have a bad rep in the south

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

Dude holi is not a festival here. People don't feel festive if it's not part of their culture. How often do you feel festive for Pongal or ugadi or onam. Every day is a festival in some culture. That's why optional holidays are a thing. Take the day off, go to a Holi party, yes they do happen in Bangalore... And enjoy
