Holi also gives a wonderful chance to send blessings and love to dear ones wrapped in a special GIFTS..

• Play safe. Don't get to boisterous and do not let others to be rude on you.


• The best option would be to play with natural home made colours. Your skin and hair will feel tampered with the use of skin friendly natural products.


• USE ORGANIC HOLI COLOURS...


• Use more of red or pink colours which looks good and can easily taken off. Gaudy purple, green, yellow, orange have more harmful chemicals in them and should be avoided.


• Make sure that your face is well creamed before and after the play.


• Apply thick coating of paint on your nails- both in fingers and toes so that they remain protected.


• Oil your hair well, so that colour doesn't stick on your hair and can be washed off easily later.


• Cover your hair. Make use of hat or caps to protect your hair from being coloured with hard-to-rinse dyes.


• Make sure that powder or any other product does not get inside your eyes. Eyes are extremely vulnerable on Holi because of their strategic place in body and also because of the use of harmful chemicals in colors these days. Please ensure that your eyes remain protected at all times. Use a sunglass to protect your eyes from a misfire of colour filled darts or water jets.


• Use dental caps to save your teeth from any unwanted stains.


• Put on your worst clothes so that you won't have to take on the hassles of an immediate washing.


• Rags like tattered denims and bright shades like black, blue, green, purple are highly recommended.


• Try to save yourself off from all possible attacks on the face. In case your such attempts fail, keep your eyes and lips tightly shut if you are attacked on your face.


• If possible avoid going outside your home, atleast for the peak hours of celebration. The premises of your home ensure that you are safe from pouncing hooligans, even friends who can be a little rough on the day.


• When traveling keep the car windows thoroughly shut, even if you don't have an AC car. Do not bump into the frenzied group of mob if you take to streets. Better you cross the road to the sidewalk across. Or, simply stay at a safe distance.


• Do not use permanent dyes. If someone has applied it on you, do not rub the face with soap immediately in order to get rid off it, especially when it is wet. Instead, use good quality cleansing milk for removal. It's better than using soap, which will dry up your skin.


• Rotten eggs when thrown on your head, flying missiles from locality buildings…are still not too bad, will be smelly yet is a good conditioner for your hair. But tar, shit, Mobil, stones and all the rubbish that you can be hit with is not. Avoid being a prey to hooligans.


• Remember you also have police on your side and if any untoward revelers misbehave, you can make your complaint. Mark out the locality, building and if possible the person.


• Take a bath much later after the entire Holi celebration is over. Taking frequent baths, washing the face again and again, will ruin your skin. You will also lose hair, for too much soap/shampoo has a drying effect.


• If you are prone to skin allergies, avoid playing with gulal altogether. Going to a dermatologist (skin specialist) serves no purpose, after the damage is done.


• Avoid running on jumping on wet floors, so that you don't slip and injure yourself. Bones are specially vulnerable on this day.


• Avoid over indulgence in bhang, drinks or food... so that you don't repent later.


• Do not drive if you are high on alcohol or bhang.


• Keep handy pain killers, anti-oxidants, anti-allergic tablets if all the above tips have been disregarded.

#NoToFoodPoisoning LAL HIT SUPER HIT - HOLI-HAPPINESS. AND A HABIT THAT GIVES ME MENTAL PEACE

 

HOLI. HAPPINESS. AND A HABIT THAT GIVES ME MENTAL PEACE 

 

Holi is celebrated as the festival of colours widely.

Holi, this year is on the full moon day in the month of Phalgun i.e the 13th of March. Holi heralds the arrival of spring - the season of hope and new beginnings. It is a glorious spectacle, a riot of colours - crimson, red, pink, orange, purple, yellow and green. ( Btw. Did you know that the practice of throwing coloured powder gulal or coloured water on each other is in  remembrance of the celestial fun Lord Krishna have had playing hori (songs) with the gopis (female cowherds) at Gokul.? )

Another inseparable component of Holis is the Holi- special food. While the taste and culture changes from place to place, the love for food runs thick all across. Take the case of the holi-special drink Thandaai, I am sure you have had tasted it sometime already :) There’s much more food-choices even beyond. For e.g. Maharashtrians prefer Puran Poli while North Indians prepare Shakarpara and gujjias - a sweet samosa filled with mava, coconut, dry fruits which is fried and dipped in a sugar syrup. Gujaratis make sweet khichidi and sweets like kheer, basundi and halva.

Let me, at this point, tell you the special way I have been celebrating Holi since years, and how love & food play all-important roles there.

So, it’s been 10 years that I have adopted 28 underprivileged kids and my Holi is all about being the entire day with them, preparing special food for them and ensuring that I truly make the day about love, bonding’s and hopefully great beginnings.

I feel playing the mother of 28 kids comes with a lot of responsibilities too. For e.g. the cleanness and rigour that I put into making the Holi-special dishes for them. A lot of this discipline starts with how I keep my kitchen hygienic, which means I go beyond what is superficial & take care of the hidden dangers too. Just like cockroaches, while there are few one can see at any point of time, there are possibly scores of them at any point of time hiding in hard to reach corners like under the cylinder, sink, cracks and crevices of your kitchen

Cockroaches carry deadly germs and bacteria. They come behind the back, crawl on food and utensils, contaminate food and spread Food Poisoning. While family members and guests suffer, kids are the first ones to get these infections. Thankfully I got educated on this year’s back by a close friend who introduced me to the (possibly only) solution - LAL HIT

LAL HIT eliminates not just the visible but the hidden cockroaches too. It comes with a Deep Reach Nozzle that eliminate roaches even in the deep corners, cracks and crevices.

 

Thanks to LAL HIT as a part of my monthly kitchen-cleaning ,now when I am playing mother to the 28 kids and cooking a storm for them, I know I have done the best to save them from food poisoning spread by hidden cockroaches too.

(Not to mention the pleasant fragrance that it comes in that keeps even the ones allergic to the quintessential ‘pest-solution’ smell, happy)

 

And by the way this is a sneak peek to one of the special dishes that I have planned for this year’s HOLI. Leave your reaction as a comment … :)
