Some thoughts about Holi and matrimony.
Both are colourful, especially the clothes bought/coloured and the language used in marital fights (the martial arts).
Both are confusing. Which day is Holi, exactly, for instance? And who is to cook in the married household, for instance.
Holi gives you excuses for chhed-chhad. Or used to, before various laws were enacted to take better care of women. Now, one less excuse to be inebriated with ''manly" power, I guess.
Just when you thought all the Holi songs had been written, there comes another. I think Ranbir and Deepika starred in one recently. On marriage, there are only jokes. Bollywood (happy) songs are all pre-marriage. What is the significance of that?
Marriage is supposed to provide security. And it promotes GDP growth. How? Married couples need a house, a car, a fridge, a washing machine, a cooking gas, restaurants, work to pay all the bills,...
So all you need to do to increase GDP growth to Chinese levels and beyond...you guessed it. Promote holy matrimony.
