A long weekend and festival of colours! It is that time of the year when people all over the country will be celebrating the Hindiu festival, Holi. While some people love to play with colours, water balloons and pichhkari, there will be others watching movies and grooving to the beats of some amazing Bollywood numbers. It is the perfect time to josh around with friends and spend quality time with family. However, this year again, due to COVID-19 pandemic, the festival seems to be a low-key affair.
