Happy Holi

The festival of colours is here

With love, hope and lots of cheer

With Nature dressed in bright colours

Can humans be far behind one wonders!


You’ll find yellow, blue with bright red

Green, orange and violet all around is spread

“Holi hai!” shout numerous happy voices

On the colourful occasion, so very joyous.



Holika dahan has its own moral story

Even though the tale is sad and gory

Evil will always be defeated by the good

I wish, everyone, this truth, understood!


The festival has its sweet romance too

I’m sure you’ve heard of Radha-Krishna, haven’t you?

It’s said Vrindhavan smelt divine with flower petals

Who’s ignorant of the Gopis’ colourful, naive revels?



Holi brings colour, fragrance and also delicious food

You can gorge happily on whatever is your mood

There’s thandai, gujjias, and laddoos yummy

And dahi bhalas with tamarind chutney! How lovely!


Warm wishes to each one of you on this festival bright

May your hearts be happy and your burdens light

‘Happy Holi’ to each and everyone of you

May your joys increase and sorrows be few!
