Something that truly put the happy into Holi this year, was the fact that the festival was marked with heightened consciousness about water conservation yesterday.

By and large, Mumbai had a high and dry Holi as a lot of people, which includes kids, were conscious about not wasting water. One could spot groups of young men and women daubed with dry colour but not the usual hosing each other by revellers, emptying buckets of water on each other, actually bringing tankers in huge housing societies or any other such activity that used up copious amounts of water.
