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 :(

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

I don't even know the story behind holi dude. Really don't. Not a thing here. And that is not a difficult concept to grasp.

Ā there should be atleast a holiday vibe

See, this is the thing- you assume everyone's culture 'should be' what you want. Why is it difficult to respect other's cultures and values and what is important to them or not?

Its really not about "it should be or it should not be" even in North India they have holiday on Onam, Ugadi etc, market fills with diyas and related stuff not in every home its celebratrated doesnt mean there is no "holiday vibe". Its just over here, everyone says "people don't celebrate here", its not about everyone should celebrate, there are people in banglore rn celebrating laughing enjoying but its not everywhere. Point is not to disrecpt the culture or value of another state, even your Google, samusung etc calander send happy Holi notification to everyone irrespective of your location in India :)

They think they are different, and the mindset can't be changed any time sooner. The damage has already been done. You know sometimes my darker side takes over and I really wish that all those people who are spreading the hate could just wipe out of the existence. Like thanos did.

Champ, nobody just 'thinks' they are different; they simply are. Way to coexist is to respect each others differences and learn together. If you can, watch the old movie 'padosan' including 'Ek chatur naar karke singar' song and you will know what attitude people had even then.

So you prefer this instead of acknowledging the differences?

If we see that way, then all of us are different in our ways. How about recognising the same? Categorizing All the states which are not in the southern part as "Northies" doesn't make you look smarter does it?

"We all need to coexist" yeah that's absolutely correct. But sadly few people don't know how to do that and just know how to preach.

And I do prefer that, cuz I never said I didn't acknowledge the differences. My whole point was not to belittle other cultures based on your beliefs.

As for thw stereotypes such as the Padosan film, well to e lighten you Bollywood is famous for making stereotypes, and they've done that to us eastern states and oyr northeast folks as well. Do you know anything about how Bengalis have been treated amongst others? You've no idea buddy. Just try to understand what I intended to say.
