One cannot simply ask Holi kab hai? without asking Kab hai Holi?
Holi is the festival of colours. Like many other festivals in India, Holi also signifies a victory of good over evil. For the first time in the history of Pakistan, the country will get a public holiday on holi.
Celebrated with colours (that generally don't go off your nails for weeks), sweets, bhaang and Rang Barse blasting on the speakers of your society, it is also the day when your clothes become the 'pocha'.
Social media, like always, had something to say about the festival of colours.
1. Zombies.
I'm really looking forward to all your Holi selfies tomorrow. Please upload as many as you can. I also wish there was a font for sarcasm.

Post Holi nap is the best one you will have all year. Brought to you by colours, food, bhang and exhaustion.

The irony of the times we live in: farmers commit suicide due to drought and people waste water to 'play' #Holi.Go ahead call me anti-Hindu.

And someone pointed out her photos from previous years.
Hi @deespeak, can you help me identify who is in these photos playing Holi without guilt? https://t.co/rAP8LDwRc7pic.twitter.com/RcDeIVMp0j

No, seriously. If Holi is a festival of Colors, why are other channels celebrating it?
