Today is Holi, the festival of colors. it is the time when friends come together and all the differences throughout the year sink in the colors of holi. Bangladesh is a country where the Hindus are a minority community. But as it is a land of multicultural diaspora, the hindus celebrate holi with a riot of colors and they embrace their muslim brothers with the extravagant colors of holi. it is the time when all disputes are forgotten in the myriads of gulal or colored powders, with which holi is celebrated. the folklore about holi is that, lord krishna played holi with his divine fiance radha and her friends. thus friendship is the fervor of this auspicious festival, and holi is the time when the spirit of camaraderie overpowers all evil forces.
