The festival of colours, sweets and bhaang is feared by most women. Not because they are worried about their hair and skin getting messed up, because they are teased and molested on the pretext of ‘Holi Hai!’ As you get ready to get drenched in riot of colours, we list down five things that you should avoid today…read on:
Clingy clothes:
Ladies, as much as you love being the style diva, today is just not the day. Your clingy clothes, when wet, will cling further to your body, making your inner wear visible. In fact, avoid whites and cropped tops too. White will become transparent when wet, cropped tops will ride up further when they come in contact with water. Wear long kurtas that are a size too big, so you are not constantly tugging at your top while playing. Go for high-necks so you can indulge in all the fun without constantly adjusting your clothes.
Crowded places: It’s better to play Holi with your family and friends, instead of jumping around in a crowd. There’s no way to keep a track of people and what they are doing to you if you are at a crowded place. It just gives people better opportunities to molest and grope you. And with people coloured all over, you won’t be able to recognise them either. It’s better to stay as far way from crowds as possible.
Inorganic colours:
This Holi, make sure that whatever you put on others and yourself is organic in nature. Inorganic powders, made from harsh chemicals can harm your skin, hair and eyes. In fact, if not checked properly, they can permanently damage your face and neck. Go for colours that are vegetable or stock-based, so your skin isn’t compromised. These are easily available at leading stores…
Un’holi’ behaviour:
If you don’t know that person and he/she happens to pass by, don’t be a jerk and throw colours at him/her. This is a beautiful and joyous festival, do not make it he’ll for somebody who doesn’t celebrate or isn’t in the mood to be drenched by strangers. Apart from this, don’t indulge in heinous acts like molesting, groping and forcefully kissing women in the influence or bhaang. Know your limits and control yourself, else you’ll be spending the day in jail than with your friends and family.
Too much bhaang:
This is a good rule to have, not just today but always. Control your bhaang intake as it can make you vulnerable. It can also screw with your senses and give you a massive hangover that you’ll be nursing through the day. Do you really want that? Nobody is asking you not to it, just don’t overdo it. Whatever else, do not drive under its influence. Don’t this fun day into a tragic one.
We do hope that you’ll keep these points in mind. Wishing all our readers a very happy, colourful and safe Holi!
