Festival of Colours - Holi
Holi is a festival of joy and colors. However, one should always be on
alert to prevent any accident that may mar all the fun and change the
scene to a sad one. Here are some Dos and Don'ts that are necessary to
really enjoy Holi to its fullest. Remember to use these precautions to
enjoy the festival of Holi safely.
Here are a few tips and suggestion to make your holi safe and joyous.
* Play safe. Don't get to boisterous and do not let others to be rude on you.
* The best option would be to play with natural home made colours.
Your skin and hair will feel tampered with the use of skin friendly
natural products.
* If natural colours are not possible, then ensure a better quality
of colours. Buy colours from a reputed shop or vendor.
* Use more of red or pink colours which looks good and can easily
taken off. Gaudy purple, green, yellow, orange have more harmful
chemicals in them and should be avoided.
* Make sure that your face is well creamed before and after the play.
* Apply thick coating of paint on your nails- both in fingers and
toes so that they remain protected.
* Oil your hair well, so that colour doesn't stick on your hair and
can be washed off easily later.
* Cover your hair. Make use of hat or caps to protect your hair
from being coloured with hard-to-rinse dyes.
* Make sure that powder or any other product does not get inside
your eyes. Eyes are extremely vulnerable on Holi because of their
strategic place in body and also because of the use of harmful
chemicals in colors these days. Please ensure that your eyes remain
protected at all times. Use a sunglass to protect your eyes from a
misfire of colour filled darts or water jets.
* Use dental caps to save your teeth from any unwanted stains.
* Wear full-sleeved t-shirts or shirts and leggings that cover your
legs fully. Socks will be a good idea too.
* Put on your worst clothes so that you won't have to take on the
hassles of an immediate washing.
* Rags like tattered denims and bright shades like black, blue,
green, purple are highly recommended.
* Try to save yourself off from all possible attacks on the face.
In case your such attempts fail, keep your eyes and lips tightly shut
if you are attacked on your face.
* If possible avoid going outside your home, atleast for the peak
hours of celebration. The premises of your home ensure that you are
safe from pouncing hooligans, even friends who can be a little rough
on the day.
* When traveling keep the car windows thoroughly shut, even if you
don't have an AC car. Do not bump into the frenzied group of mob if
you take to streets. Better you cross the road to the sidewalk across.
Or, simply stay at a safe distance.
* Do not use permanent dyes. If someone has applied it on you, do
not rub the face with soap immediately in order to get rid off it,
especially when it is wet. Instead, use good quality cleansing milk
for removal. It's better than using soap, which will dry up your skin.
* Rotten eggs when thrown on your head, flying missiles from
locality buildings...are still not too bad, will be smelly yet is a
good conditioner for your hair. But tar, shit, Mobil, stones and all
the rubbish that you can be hit with is not. Avoid being a prey to
hooligans.
* Remember you also have police on your side and if any untoward
revelers misbehave, you can make your complaint. Mark out the
locality, building and if possible the person.
* Take a bath much later after the entire Holi celebration is over.
Taking frequent baths, washing the face again and again, will ruin
your skin. You will also lose hair, for too much soap/shampoo has a
drying effect.
* While washing off the color, use lukewarm water and keep your
eyes and lips tightly closed.
* If you are prone to skin allergies, avoid playing with gulal
altogether. Going to a dermatologist (skin specialist) serves no
purpose, after the damage is done.
* Avoid running on jumping on wet floors, so that you don't slip
and injure yourself. Bones are specially vulnerable on this day.
* Avoid over indulgence in bhang, drinks or food... so that you
don't repent later.
* Do not drive if you are high on alcohol or bhang.
* Keep handy pain killers, anti-oxidants, anti-allergic tablets if
all the above tips have been disregarded.

Dear Hansa Vyas,
Yes! safety people are not to do the post mortem but advise and remind on safety matters to initiate possible measures. Your advice is timely. This need be publicized all over thru' media too. Though not many some may heed. If one is benefitted from the reminder we will be glad.
