Hey,colour me with love-Manav,Mihir,Varun

BARKHA BHISHT Best Holi: Three years ago, when I was working in Delhi, I took three of my friends to my home town in Dehradun for Holi. They had a great time. We had set up sprinklers in the lawn, that it added to our fun. My dogs were also completely drenched and coloured. The safest way to celebrate this festival is with water. The colours have an adverse effect on my skin and the chemicals used are too harsh. This year, I'm with my sister in Colombo. MIHIR MISRA Best Holi: It was my first Holi after marriage. All our friends barged into our house because they knew my wife Maninee loves playing Holi. Then we went to meet others and just painted the town red. I've never played Holi as such. I only started playing after my marriage because of Maninee. The safest way to play Holi is to avoid greasy paints, drinking and driving. This time, we'll be with some close friends. KARISHMA TANNA Best Holi: Years ago, I used to play Holi with my friends in the building. They used to throw me in the pond of water. I can never forget those days. We were so carefree then. Nowadays playing Holi depends on my mood. The only hitch is that this festival is not very safe. Because of the harsh colours, my skin takes a beating. Last year's Zoom party was mind blowing. It's happening this time too, so I'll be there.

VARUN BADOLA Best Holi: Every Holi is spe- cial. But the one that was mem- orable was my first Holi with my wife Rajeshwari. We truly got in to the festive spirirt. I believe in playing Holi in the conventional style. I know peo- ple use harmful colours and glass particles and consider it the worst way to play Holi. This time, I intend to begin the festi- val from my home and go around celebrating it with friends and family.
