Bura na mano holi hai- That is the famous saying used frequently during holidays. People use to display unusual and many times unacceptable behaviour in the name of holi.I have noticed that during holi the difference between so called civilized and uncivilized people simply vanishes.People of highly "respectable' and "prestigious" section of socitey exhibit ANIMAL INSTINCT in an uninihibited manner. Within each and every human being, an animal-like instinct dwells. No matter how civil or well mannered one may live, deep inside lies a undercurrent to be released. If given the right situation or placed in the right environment, this innate, savage behaviour can overpower a person’s sense of common civil behaviour and turn an otherwise civil human being, into a 'savage animal'.Holi is such a occasion where people's behaviour makes me to again believe that this world is either 'MONEY CENTRIC" or "WOMAN CENTRIC". In an environment where you are free to talk anything without fear , these are the only two things people desire openly.What to talk about 'double meaning words' they go for 'single meaning words'.
This makes me to think that Human beings are still primarily a biological animal and it is only due to fear of society that they exhibit themslves to be a social animal.All living things have animals like instincts, humans just do a better job at repressing them. The fear of law is the reason for acting civilized, without it we aren’t too different then animals.HOLI IS THE PROOF !

really relevant comments.out of 'dharm',;arth','kaam', 'moksha',in today's world man's mind n life is centred only on 'arth' n 'kaam'.Holi could be an occassion of giving vent to hidden desires n complexes ,but it shouldn't degerate to display of absurd vulgarities. parihas rasikta ko jugupsit vichar-vyavhar ka roop nahi lena chahiye.
Although at many places Holi is celebrated in a very joyous and decent ways, my comment was based on personal experiance of this year. Personally I feel Holi provides us an unique opportunity to celebrate life , enjoy life and at the same time gives us an opportunity to reach out to persons whom we dislike and forget all the differences leading ultimately to creation of society more favourable to us.
