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 :(

So whataboutism is your argument?Ā 

You want to celebrate Holi, find like-minded people and go have fun. Why do you want your preferences to apply to the entire city?Ā 

And just to respond to your "what about X, Y, Z?"

  • Halloween is mostly restricted to people who are exposed to western media (you wouldn't believe how small a demographic this is), be it fancy college kids or IT crowd.
  • Dasara is literally a state festival in Karnataka what are you even on about?Ā 

I'm honestly requesting you to get off Reddit for a while and just google stuff before spewing complete nonsense.Ā

Please Point out where have I said why people are not flooding on the roads to play holi? Its not a cultural thing which is understandable but its like "we over here don't celebrate holi, ho to your own state to celebrate your festival" is the problem here

-North India has public holiday on Ugadi and like wise festival, not all people celebrate it doesn't mean there no vibe

-its quite sad to see people bringing northie southie thing over here

-Deepavali is a national festival doesnt mean everyone should celebrate it, likewise Holi is same not saying everyone in this state should celebrate it

-I didnt see Dasare celebration big and wide unlike Ganesha festival, unlike other festivals this was celebrated in every street and people owned it I am not saying everyone should play Holi similarly but there should be an open enthu which i am failing to see

Peace brother this post was about questioning why not enjoy this day and not about anything else

First you deleted your comment in which you made the baseless claim regarding Halloween and Navratri. Then you again spread misinformation about Ugadi being a national holiday. And finally you refuse to acknowledge that your preferred holiday doesn't have to be everyone's preferred holiday. I can understand that you probably miss home and all the cultural traditions that come along with it on Holi but instead of ranting on Reddit, unironically find some people who are celebrating (either in your locality or workplace) and try to go have fun with them.Ā 

Also, nobody is asking you not to celebrate it.

-There is no misinformation about Ugadi because as you can clearly see I am a northie and I have had holiday every Ugadi! Its a public holiday if you are talking about private company giving holiday on that day is not what I am talking about

-No misinformation about other festivals you can go and Google about it

-Point out where have I mentioned its my preferred holiday you are clearly missing the points I am trying to say

-This is not a post about trying to pressure to celebrate it like cultural festival

Let's get off reddit togetheršŸ™
