The ultimate guide for people who cringe at the thought of the festival.

Hate playing Holi? Despise people who play with colour and waste water?

Always looking for every excuse to avoid playing Holi?

Then we have some tips for you! 

1. Show them your secret weapon

A little distraction works wonders :)  

2. Catch them unaware

Before they can smear colour on you, catch the Holi enthusiast unaware.

They will take a minute or two to react and that's all the time you need to scoot.  

3. Remind them of the water scarcity in the world

Well, water scarcity is a real big issue and also the best excuse to avoid playing Holi. 

And then who can forget the mid-March chill? 

4. Wear protective gear

If playing Holi is really bad idea for you, then this protective gear will always come handy when you step out.  

5. You can always hide

Hate having friends ring your doorbell and attack you with colours?

Avoid all that drama by just finding a place to hide. 

6. Bring out your sneakers and run as fast as you can

Get annoyed when people with wet clothes and painted faces want to hug you?

Don't think much, just run!

7. Tell them you have a contagious allergy

No one wants to come close to a sick person, do they?

8. If you can’t think of anything, just go back to bed

If none of the above excuses work, just crawl back into bed and stay there till noon.
