So what’s your excuse to this Holi ?????

Holi is round the corner and while everybody seems to be gung-ho about this colourful festival, there are a few who have an aversion to the gulals and the toxic colours. While the latter should be left in peace , in most cases, this doesn’t happen .They are constantly surrounded by pesky friends who do anything to make sure that their friends have some colours on them. They are often tricked and dragged out of their room by their friends to play Holi.

Rohini kapoor , a home maker , loathes playing Holi. She says , “ I’ve never played Holi because I don’t like it and irritates me. Luckily my husband also is not too keen on playing Holi. So ,we generally make plans with other friends who don’t enjoy playing the same and go to some resort on the day Holi is played.”

While Rohini ensures she’s safe and untouched by colour on Holi , there are also others like Rajat , a freelancer Disk Jockey , who understands exactly how it feels to get stranded in such situations. “I don’t play Holi and my friends know that . They still managed to fool me a couple of times,” says Rajat adding, “Sometimes, I go off to my grandma’s place on Holi and when my friends call, I tell them I’m at the factory or busy with work.

Even Aditya Gautam , a final year B.A. student , wants to be left alone in peace. He says , “ I don’t like colours and have a phobia towards them. To avoid people from smearing me with colours , I lock myself in my room”. Also, he often tells his friends that he is allergic to colours. So what’s your excuse to this Holi.
