In Hindi language, the word when split looks like HO — LI. Which means , “it has got over” or things of the past. Sometimes, we harbor bitter & negative experiences of the past in us, unnecessarily. This festival reminds us to not dwell in the negative experiences of the past. Rather have an attitude that expresses, “whatever has happened in the past has happened, now let me make my future better & bright.” When this thinking comes in us, we instill positive feelings of hope, faith, love, forgiveness, tolerance. This in turn colors our face with positive feelings. Such colors remain with us for a life time.
