HOLI TODAY: ULTIMATE FUN OR JUST AN EXCUSE TO RUIN CLOTHES?

As being a kid I loved playing this festival of colours. Holi is a festival filled with laughter, fun, sweets, interaction with people. The only festival I wait from since a long time to come so that I call be prepare myself and allow myself to have little extra fun on that day. The festival which is celebrated from years since as mentioned as duaparyug in which lord krishna ji was used to play with Radha ji. A festival which brings all people together. Holi is just not a festival but an expression of happiness and warm love in family.


As I have felt being an adult now. We all had divided the festivals into rich and poor. Somewhere we forgot that our festival is not for showcasing but a festival of sharing love all together. We all are running for the fame of photos, likes and posts We all are disconnecting from the actual meaning of Holi. People are getting ready in white clothes to make the festival in their own societies or going on a concerts to match the aesthetics of others. Now there’s a competition for gaining likes on their stories and posts rather than a competition who have more water balloons and water guns. We all somewhere has lost our sprit of enjoying the actual festival of colours. We used to chase our friends and come home back unrecognisable, drenched in the pure joy of the festival. But now, Holi feels like just another social media event more about capturing the perfect shot than creating real memories. Now it feels like we ‘ve made it too business oriented tricked with home parties, green bands. The simplicity of gathering with neighbourhood is being now overshadowed with social medias. Now people have fear of getting too messy and drenched with colours and some parents also don’t allow there children to play with others with the fear of getting drenched with colours and they’ve become more protective suddenly. Although Holika Dahan was a significant ritual where families gather to mark the triumph of good over evil a day before actual holi began. The excitement of preparing homemade sweets, dancing to folk songs and enjoying the festival with loved ones is now fading in the club music and celebrity DJs
It’s time to bring Holi back to what it truly stands for joy, connection, and carefree celebration. Instead of chasing the perfect picture let’s chase real moments. Instead of exclusive parties let’s celebrate with inclusivity. Ditch the pressure of looking “Holi-ready” and embrace the festival in its raw, playful form. Share colours, laughter, and sweets not just posts and stories. Let’s make Holi less about aesthetics and more about emotions, less about social media and more about real-life connections. Because the true beauty of Holi isn’t in how we look, but in how we feel.

TUMBBAD: WHERE GREED DANCES WITH THE GODS

Image
Tumbaad was released in 2018 with new ideas and creative plot twists, but it was not able to gather more audience. This movie was directed by Rahil Anil Barve and co- directed by Adesh Prasad with the talented actor Sohum Shah playing a powerful role as Vinayak. This movie played with human emotions, realistic factors in the movie to keep up with human interests. It builds atmospheric tension.  The film stands out for its great and unique mode of storytelling and cinematography. The story depicts the village of Tumbbad, related to Maharashtran culture, and searching for a hidden treasure guarded by an ancient, cursed entity- Hastar. The story is surrounded by gods and demons, which give chills to the audience. It also depicts the story of how women were treated and how greediness can end the human and the content was served to the audience in a unique way. The VFX and CGI effects added more realism to the film. It is a mythological, horror, suspense, thriller movie that...

Hello my Wanderers, I am Aanya and also a certified Bollywood addict and unapologetically obsessed with actors, drama, and everything filmi. I am a person who grew up in a middle-class family and thinks I could do that sassier thing. My whole childhood was surrounded by the characters in movies. But I have to admit the fact that in Bollywood now, Poo would never approve this . I mean it’s not about Blockbuster? More like Flopbuster . If you are also someone who has seen core Bollywood cinema, and you also feel same like this, keep scrolling. Here’s the reason why I think Bollywood, where the budget is high, but the IQ is low!    (A Bollywood film is never just a movie; it’s music, drama, love, and dreams woven together) The OG movies like Gulaab Gang, Murder, Kahaani, Tumbbad, MS Dhoni, 1920 (Horror film), Sanju, Phobia, Trapped and I mean there’s many more these are the actual movies with great artists, direction and scripting, which were appreciated by lot of people even tod...
