I think its too late to say happy Holi but still "Happy Holi" to everyone
Because of some mythology about Holika and Bhkat Prahalad, Holika Pujan has been followed by the people. Holika Pujan takes place on a day before the Holi festival. People light bonfire to celebrate the victory of "good" over "bad". Another purpose is to burn all your impurities from your body and make yourself pure to live healthy and wonderful life ahead.
The actual motive behind writing this blog is little different. Let’s see the actual reality on that night before the Holi festival.
When I was walking towards home after my office hours, I saw in each and every building premises, people were lighting woods. I saw that this bonfire will stay long as they had made thick layer using lots of woods. People were really happy by doing all this worships and Pujas around this bonfire.
By seeing all this, in a little frustrating mood I have reached home. After sometime when I was planning to go to bed, I had opened my window. Just shocked..!!! So much smoke was in the air on both the side of my flat. This smoke was because of (Holika) bonfire on both side of my building. All smoke was coming into my room and spreading all over as fan was running. Immediately, I closed the window. Because of this smoke, it was really difficult for me to sleep and get the proper oxygen. It was really a miserable night a dramatic sleep in this smoky environment.
I was just thinking that why people become so blind to follow the rituals. In madness of following these simple rituals, they cut many trees and used tons of woods in bonfire. Why can't they gathered at one place and do whatever Puja and worship, if they can't live without it. They are just not seeing the future in the madness of following this kind of rituals. I really have a doubt that GOD has ordered them to follow all these rituals.
