Play Holi with these Do’s and Don’ts this time

The colorful festival of Indian, Holi is back once again. Though it is already 2-3 days left for the actual day, people started celebrating the festival in their own traditional ways.

 

However, in recent times, Holi has started becoming a little more rough with people pushing boundaries and limits to create trouble for others. Keeping this in mind many colleges and universities, including Delhi University, have banned playing colours in the campus. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But no one can be stopped. Afterall it’s HOLI. So, why don’t we play a safe HOLI this time. There is a saying that prevention is better than cure. So, it is better to take precautions to save yourself form the evil side. 

 

Here are some Do’s and Don’ts for staying safe this Holi specially for those college going guys.

 

 

 

Do’s

Wear Sunglasses – they’ll keep your eyes safe from the bad effects of colours

 

 

Wear old clothes that can be discarded easily. Ideally wear full sleeved clothes; despite the heat they’ll protect you and your skin from getting colour

 

 

Oil yourself before stepping out – This will ensure that dirty colours don’t stay on you and cause harm to your body / skin. You may be using eco-friendly and organic colurs, but others may not! 

 

Be extremely careful when travelling on bikes – people throw eggs and water balloons and these can be extremely dangerous causing you to skid / lose control

 

Don’ts

Don’t wear contact lenses to play Holi. Remove them and wear your glasses before stepping out – they’re a better proectection!

 

 

Avoid forcing others to play colours if he/she is not interested!

 

 

Use of gulaal – It has extremely harmful chemicals which get ingested by the blood

 

 

Avoid Bhang – there are spurious forms of Bhaang and thandai being served in most parties. Some of them and even the alcohol served at parties can be contaminated with the date rape drug Rohypnol

 

 

Stay away from hooligans and large crowds of unknown men (this is for the women)

 

 

Our skin is very sensitive especially at a young age. So, the more you care about this, more it glows. Try these safety tips and stay safe in this HOLI!
