Holi” — -the festival of colours commonly known as “Fagu Purnima” is very popular amongst all of us.

Holi brings the message of friendship, love and happiness. This festival is also a reminder not to misuse the powers we have. As the legend goes Holika was burnt while helping her daemon brother Hiranyakashyap burn his son. So it was victory of good over evil. Thus with the festival round the corner we should also burn all the bad habits and sins we have committed. Besides Holi is a fun festival and we get to play with colours, which will add more colour to our lives. — Alisha Manandhar, Class 8, Shuvatara school
