License to flirt

I just came across this post I wrote last to last year about Holi. So here it is

I've always felt that apart from being the festival of colour, Holi actually adds some wanted ....and at times unwanted spice in people's life. Considering the way most men function, I have reasons to believe that for *some* of them it actually serves as a societal sanction for venting out their innate perversities. Now, before I go any further in proving my theory, let me tell you,,,I love the festival too....because I have rarely played it. Just as I was standing outside the verandah of my house, I saw a 16-year old chap holding both the hands of this girl I happen to be friends with,,, and rubbing her face with colours. IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN A MORE DISGUSTING VIEW. Now for most of you, it may not even be a case of eve-teasing....but I think otherwise. The girl apparently has rashes all over her face and this was the reason she did not want to be smeared with colours. This 16 year old jerk had the audacity to go to her lace and drag her out only to put colours on her face an throw a bucketful of ater on her. How singularly annoying is that!!!! Anyways, even if you see some of our classic Hindi film songs on Holi, you will notice that the festival has been projected in a similar fashion. Be it Rang Barse where a married Amitabh Bachchan romances his ex....or the Ang se Ang Lagana where the lyrics are explicit but do sum up the way the festival is played.
