Why Molly hates Holi...

Molly (as in Bobben ‘n’ Molly, the Malayalam cartoon) is a good Mallu name. So, why would she hate Holi – because it is a North Indian festival? Holi is a spring festival - symbolizes the renewal of life in spring. In South India where winter is no biggie nobody but some North Indian transplants celebrate Holi. And, when they do it is often at the expense of others – it becomes a way to molest, assault (or, if you prefer the Indian term – eve tease) women.
