This Holi,
let me borrow the hues of rainbow
and daub your pretty face
in bewildering shades of love…
This Holi,
let us coat
every nook and corner
of this grey old town
in vivid colours of frenzy …
This Holi,
let us generously smear
our black-and-white dreams
in riots of vibrant
kaleidoscopic colours…
This Holi,
let me brush my lips
against the canvas of your cheeks
to make you blush
in tints of crimson shame…
This Holi,
let us sing, dance,
rejoice fervently
and sink in the fragrant ice-cold ‘Bhang’
served in the intoxicating
copper tumbler…
This Holi,
let us all burn the evil ‘Holika’
in the pious flames of devotion
and spread the message of
content, harmony and peace…
This Holi,
let us adorn
our beloved mother India
in the tri colours of
courageous, sacrifical Saffron,
spotless pure White and fertile Green
and let her evergreen beauty
dazzle the whole world…

Dear GITA,
Basketful of colourful wishes to you and your family on the auspicious occasion of HOLI. I don't think 'Bhang' is available in Dubai? likewise Bahrain...
