Holi is a celebration of emotions, memories, and the beautiful blending of the old and the new; it's not only about the colours. Love has a way of infiltrating amid the excitement of rain dance parties and flying colours, sometimes for the first time and other times several times. You can smell the gulaal in the air and hear laughing resonating through the streets.

Love is like a Holi pichkari to many people unexpected, exciting, and full of surprises. And it's time to reconsider your belief that romance is no longer possible after the age of forty! Holi is the ideal time to let go of your worries and give love another exciting, colourful shot, regardless matter whether you've recently ended a difficult relationship or have just been enjoying your alone time for some time.

From OTT Love Stories to Real-Life Romances

Indian web series love stories portray that age is just a number when it comes to love, and for learning the OTTs, love has no age limits. Shows like Made in Heaven tackle deeply rooted relationships and the potential for renewal in the context of broken marriages. Mismatched proves that love stories do not have to make sense at all, and love evolves with time was captured perfectly by Little Things. Additionally, love is surreal and full of spontaneity much like Holi.

Think of ranging imagination and adventure while blending the filmy inspiration with energy of Holi. Imagine bumping into an old-league college flame at a Holi party. The colours blur the awkwardness, along with rekindling that old flame. Or a stranger walks past you on the street and playfully smears colour on your face, just like that, the universe introduces you to a new meet-cute.

Holi: The Dating Platform for the Over 40s? 

While online dating platforms may offer convenience, have you ever had someone run after you with a pichkari while laughing uncontrollably and trying to hand you a bhang lassi to calm you down? Holi provides an ideal context for many people as masks can be set aside, walls disappear, and relationships emerge.  Most of the divorced people or singles over the age of 40 seem to be more reluctant to take the plunge into dating again due to the fear of being judged, social standards, or lack of information on how to begin. However, these people can embrace the Holi festival that is full of no phrases, rules, and adventurous spirit as an opportunity to fall in love again without any pressure or expectations.

Love Bhi, Bhang Bhi: Why Holi Is The Perfect Ice Breaker

During the holiday season, self-restraint is seemingly out the window. The festival of Holi can best be remembered as an event where people are immersed in colour, laughing for no reason and maybe enjoying some thandai. It is a time where being self-conscious is thrown out the window because everyone is adorned with a patchwork of colours. For most, the notion of flirting becomes part of the festivities, from an innocent toss of a water balloon, things could easily escalate into a passionate love affair by the time the splashes of colour finish settling. 

Nostalgia is powerful, isn’t it? Holi is one of the most eagerly awaited festivities of the year for anyone who grew up in the 90’s as they will nostalgically remember the movie Rang Barse and Balam Pichkari that’s full of vibrant colours and amazing music. No one can forget the energetic song and dance sequence that makes them feel like rebels in college, that too with no worries. It is that point in time where one’s age takes a back seat and being young at heart comes front and center stage.

Pichkari Pe Proposal: Say It With A Splash of Colour

There is nothing more pleasing than expressing one's feelings with dance and a splash of colour. It is also during this splendid festival where most beautiful puzzling love stories come to life. Whether you have questions that interest you or are looking forward to starting afresh, Holi seems to be the most perfect time with the world around you infused with colours of pink, yellow and love.

If you are skeptical about giving love a second chance, let the colours help you. Love, like Holi, is crazy, disorganized, and messy and at the same time unpredictable- but worth it. After all, who even said that you cannot sprinkle a little romance over a heap of gulaal and fun?
