Bura Na Mano Vanish Hai: Celebrate Holi With Friends and Family

NEW DELHI, March 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

On Holi - the festival of colors - get set to paint yourselves in the colors of joy. Splashing colored water, smearing friends with gulal (colored powder) and tossing water balloons on each other, playing with colors, exchanging Holi gifts, listening to evergreen Holi songs is the order of the day and any offence caused to anyone is washed away.

Celebrations don't need a reason - each day is a celebration. But Holi calls for pulling out all the stops...as family, friends, even acquaintances and stiff colleagues, let go of their inhibitions in the spirit of 'Bura na mano, Holi hai!' As people get out their pichkaris and packets of color, all distinctions of class and religion dissolve in the ensuing merriment. Holi hai...

The festival of colors takes us away from the gloom of winter to the cheer of spring.

How can Holi be complete without sweets! In sweets, the traditional choices are 'gujiya', 'malpua' and 'laddoos'. In drinks, you can consider serving 'thandai', milkshakes and lemonade as they are the best coolers for a warm day in the sun.

Lobbing water balloons, preferably from less noticeable locations like the roof-top of a house, is common (perhaps being hidden makes it easier to take several shots before they get it right.) Water-balloon bombers know they have hit their mark when they hear an ear-splitting scream and some abuses from their victim. What it means to people affected is that they start looking like a punk, with all colorful clothes and hairs...do they like it, well no they HATE IT.

Well, in situations and festivals like this, the life of a humbled homemaker is made even worse. She on a daily basis has an endless amount of demands and to-dos which can go well beyond the usual nine to five.

Especially during these festivals, her life becomes even tougher - from breakfast to dinner, there is plenty of meal planning and cooking to be done. Grocery shopping is another chore that needs to be factored in. Not to forget keeping the house clean and tidy, festival rituals and guests pouring in. It is that time when you enjoy it a lot but hate it for what it brings with it.

Kids, husband and others coming back with stains add on to these worries. And we all know that today's detergents don't work on these. Even when you use extra detergent than required.

But expert stain removers that are oxygen-based like Vanish often come to rescue in such situations. Given that they are oxygen-based instead of harmful chlorine bleach, they are equally effective on both coloreds and whites.

So you no longer have to worry about these stains on office clothes or kids uniform. As you can now step out without worries and be ready to bash up your neighbors kids who splash you few days before Holi and say "Bura Na Mano HOLI HAI!"
