Dahi Handi fervour is already on, with the festival around the corner on Monday. Mumbai's pyramids are ready and waiting to smash that pot. Mandals are primed to outdo each other after long rounds of practice.

Let us put caution above all this festival. Often, those who advocate shorter handi heights and warn participants against foolhardy stunts are termed party poopers. Trouble makers even dub them as anti-Hindu to stir the communal pot. This is untrue and one must reject all such labels and tricks that are nothing but pressure tactics to give the green light to the truly dangerous.
