Fagu poornima

Fagu pornima helds on falgun month of nepal. In that day held a holi which celebrated by Hindu religion. This is the Festival of colours. In that day all person are so happy and play holi by colours with their friends. In believing case of Hindu Granth, Prahlad who was the son of Hirinkshyap demon. Prahlad killed evil Holika in that day of full poornima. Who was the sister of that demon. So according to this case holi celebrated at that day happily. In that day all people eat sweet, meat and difference kind of foods. Many people sacrifice agoat, pig, hen, etc. to their believing God for happiness life in their life. in that day, Many people drink alcohol, whisky, bhang, etc. In nepal and india all people celebrate this festival. People of Nepal with Hindu religion celebrated Holi or the Fagu Purnima, the festival of color (and these days dirty water as well) with full enthusiasm. People in Kathmandu enjoyed the festival totally forgetting that Comrade Maoists are blocking them inside the valley from today. Yes there something historical background behind this festival but in the modern days, throwing colors and colored water has become a kind of “sex-war”, if I can use this term here, between the young folks. I could see boys and girls targeting the water-filled balloon each other.The nasty thing about this is that girls are in the sufferers’ end. Boys start attacking them with balloons days ahead of the festival day. We saw that yesterday and the day before yesterday when newspapers in Kathmandu published boys harassing girls walking on the streets by throwing water and balloons on them. Okay, given the chance, girls are also not very much different. They too mercilessly attack boys walking alone on the streets. We can hardly see boys attacking boys with balloons. That is why Holi is becoming a different kind of festival. “Look, look, look,” a colleague in my office was saying the other day pointing out small boys who were throwing balloons to girls of their age. “Even in this age, they know its about throwing balloons over girls.”
