Today, as we celebrate Holi, the festival
of colours, it is a good idea to exercise caution and enjoy the festival in its
true sense and spirit. We urge you to pay heed to incorporate these pointers,
so that we do not cause harm to ourselves or others knowingly or unknowingly.
The synthetic colours used in the festival
are extremely harmful
to the skin, eye and teeth. Make
sure that you play with natural colours this year. There are a few
outlets that provide herbal colours. These do not harm in any way and are
easily washed away too.

We are fighting a losing battle with water
scarcity as the years go by hence it is a crime to use more water than
required. On festivals like Holi, a lot of water tends to get used and wasted
and we need to curb this practice at once. Using only dry colours and avoiding
drenching and soaking in buckets of water are something that can be easily
done. Again by not using synthetic colours, one can get rid of the colours with
lesser water; spare a thought for people who go without a drop of water before
you drain that bucket of water on someone’s head.
Say no to water balloons. These can not
only hurt a person badly but also the material is not degradable and pollutes
the environment.
Festivals are celebrated to induce a spirit
of brotherhood and bring in joy, so pay heed to the other person’s feelings. If
a person does not want to participate, respect his/her feelings. Also, keep a
strict vigil on children and do not let them stray alone into lonely streets.
Misbehaving in public is a crime on all
occasions and festivals like Holi should not be used as a pretext to indulge in
teasing women or causing harm to anyone physically or mentally. The adults must
use restraint on the consumption of the traditional Bhang and sweets and also
advise their children accordingly.As a responsibly citizen, we must not let a
festive mood turn to a period of destruction and unfortunate happenings.
We, at Lawrence school, hope that these
pointers would be implemented and the festival is celebrated in its true
colour. So, go ahead and have a happy and safe Holi!
