Happy Holi

=============================================
Holi calls to put an end to any hard feelings that might have cropped up during the year. People apply colour and give each other a friends hug as they greet Holi, the tradition is called, 'Holi Milan'. It is strongly believed that even enemies turn friend on the day of Holi.

To enjoy a safe Holi,

• Play Holi only with a group of close friends and relatives as against strangers.

• do not buy synthetic colours and loose powdered dyes. Instead opt for skin friendly vegetable or natural colours.
• apply a thick layer of moisturizer, petroleum jelly or coconut oil on your face and other exposed parts to prevent dyes and colours from coming into direct contact with your skin.
• oil your hair well so that residue from the dyes does not get stuck to your hair and scalp.
• wear clothes with long sleeves and full length bottoms to protect your skin.
• stay away from intoxicants, such as bhang etc.
•Don’t walk alone on the streets on the Holi day. You’ll be a sure target for miscreants.
