Dear Date Sheet, Thanks for Ruining my Holi AGAIN!

Year and again, our schools try to jinx our colourful Holi, thanks to the black and white examination sheets that we have to fill around that time. Why is it repeated every year? Aren’t we allowed to lead a colourful life as well? Don’t we have the right to get scolded for throwing balloons on people going to or coming back from office? We do. Every time the date sheet is announced, we just pray and hope that our festival of colours is spared by the examination monster. But No! Never does that happen. The worst part is even though the school exams have all plans to ruin your favourite festival, they still expect us to write an essay on ‘How I celebrated Holi’. Really? That is like a bunch of sadist people asking a beggar if they have change for 1000 rupees.  Well, nowadays they might just have it, but you didn't let us celebrate the festival and you want us to right 500-800 words on it. That is just unfair.

Here is a list of 11 things children go through after knowing that exams will be spoiling their Holi again

1. Not Again!
