As spring arrives, this festival of colour brings with it joy, hope and fulfilment for all. Holi also signifies how our minds can be prevailed upon to generate happiness. As we celebrate the joy of the coming of spring and the blossoming of flowers, let us transmit smiles into action to people who need happiness and the aged. Each one of us should come forward to lessen their pain so that they can also share the happiness of this colourful and purposeful festival."
