We are already into Holi week and fervour is in the air. Several campaigns are sweeping Mumbai about eco-friendly colours, and there are apostles and their acolytes telling all and sundry about how it is to their advantage to opt for natural colours.

Caution lights are ablaze and it is imperative that caution is used in abundance. Rewind to reports of yesteryears, about large number of kids landing in hospitals with nausea, stomach ailments and skin rashes due to colour poisoning. Stay true to the purpose of festivals, which is to celebrate. It's better to spend more and opt for quality colours. Let us also redefine the meaning of revellers. It should not mean only people who throw colour at each other and douse people in water, but also people on the road, commuters or those who are enjoying some free time.
