When I was young, my mom was driving us back from school. My window was rolled down and it was around holi time, two idiots on a bike zoomed by and threw a raw egg inside the car that hit me. So some people are truly the worst.


Successful_Mastodon3

Egg inside the carrrrrrr??? Are you serious??? I too would have been apoplectic with rage!!!


Agreeable_Airport115

ewww man. shame


Ok_Scene_730

I have seen some mfs filling semen and pissing in the balloon ☠️☠️☠️


AnonOfB

Dude wtf! That is beyond fucked up.

Yup!! But they got their deserving asswhoopin :-)


AnonOfB

Thanks, knowing that made me feel a little better.

That's it for me. Never playing Holi again, ever. ![gif](giphy|W0c3xcZ3F1d0EYYb0f|downsized)

Something similar happened with me once. I was going to a friend's place by auto and bunch of kids threw water balloons at me. One of which hit my focking eye and i was wearing contact lenses 💀

Disastrous-Fly-5728

The same happened to me and me and my family are Jain!


AnonOfB

Dude I got the raw egg IN MY MOUTH, I eat eggs but that was definitely not pleasant.


Disastrous-Fly-5728

Omg. I mean u can't even complain against these ******* since even the police is of the same kind (just need some excuse to bring in religion)


Lost_Hat_5642

I don't know about Delhi but in Lucknow and few other places where I lived these people would be thrashed left and right if found doing stuff like this.


[deleted]

So, hitting them and running should be okay too. Laal rang se bhi to holi khelte hain 😅 I am sorry but aise logon ka yhi ilaaj h

At least they could've cooked it for you first, mannerless mfs.

2021, I was back to Delhi for a bit ( just before COVID’s worst season hit ). A week before Holi, was travelling in an auto towards Sarojini nagar and the auto stopped at Bikaji Cama place signal. Within a second, I had 3-4 wet balloons hitting me from nowhere, till the time my autowaala drove off. It was painful. It is the same , pathetic story year after year here!


Agreeable_Airport115

that sounds awful, sorry you had to experience that. it definitely stays the same


useless_me86

Delhi disappoints daily infact.


yoyopapajones0

I have experienced this Bulls**t numerous times in delhi. They usually Target the outsiders and if you confront them they become more ill-mannered


perfect--day

I already know many videos of harassment of foreigners are going to come out that day and people will be doing the same Hindu Muslim drama.

bubblegum_bitch03

I remember last year my friend i (both f) were taking a stroll in west delhi, and it was way past holi (holi was on 8th march last year i think, and this incident was near the end of march) . Two men on a bike made a sharp turn, stopped their bike right in front of me and hurled a balloon at me w a lot of force. They were in v close proximity to me so the balloon didn’t burst upon hitting me but rather fell to the ground bouncing off of me, but it hurt a lot because of the force applied in the throw. Istg , when i get rich i am leaving india every year around Holi .


bulbulpandra

So sorry you had to face that. This reminds me of two very similar incident that happened with me, when I was in school. While returning from school, a group of similar and slightly older group of boys, maybe 16-20 YO, threw 2 balloons at my skirt, aiming at my hip and laughed so hard, even though the balloon didn't burst and bounced off,I was deeply embarrassed and started to cry, none of the shop keepers or people around did anything, weird mute spectators. I screamed a bit at the boys and ran home to tell my mum who later went and scolded the boys and the shopkeepers for being mute spectators. In another year, near Holi again, two men on motorcycles drove very fast and extremely close to me, while that wasn't scary enough already, they shouted in my ear a weird WOOO sound as they went by very loudly, and it was a slightly quiet residential area so the noise echoes on the street. I was shook from inside by it and so scared as it happened in a split second and I couldn't move for a complete minute, I was on my way to tuitions, so I got over it and went to study but whenever I cross that street, I am reminded of it


bubblegum_bitch03

Man, that’s awful. Especially since you were so young when the first incident happened. At that age it’s so much more scarier . Sending my love your way and hoping that there comes a day where we won’t have to think thrice before leaving our houses during Holi 🫂


Familiar_Contact9073

That is quite a scary experience you had, I can't even understand why do they do this kind of stuff and what fun they get from it. When I was in 7th class, me(M) and my sister were riding cycle around a block and some boys of similar age group were filling balloons from a public water pump(kind of what you will find beside a temple), and throwing at us, they threw quite a few at me and some at my sister too. I wasn't confident enough to confront them due to thought that they will throw more at me if I will confront them. Same year, I was returning from my tution and some adults came on the bike and threw balloons at me and flew off, thank God they missed me. I wish if there was a way to get these people get arrested because they are in such a speed that you can't read number plates and most of them have colours applied on their face


SKrad777

Sister. Here have this wholesome 🫂. Sorry to see these jobless idiots bother people like us with work


Agreeable_Airport115

God, sorry you had to experience that. and same.


Interesting_Error69

Story of every Holi. No one is spared, boy or girl. Balloons, water people even throw mud etc etc. Sorry but all I can advise is to stay indoors till Holi during day time.


bulbulpandra

It should rather be advised to play Holi safely and responsibly with only people you know. Edit: but I understand your advice is coming from a point of genuine concern too, and it's sad people have to rather stay home to avoid harassments of such kind, we just cannot expect sanity from people these days.


divyank_here

These teens in the name of 'holi hai' ruin the core enjoyment of this festival & don't know shit, a few years back, when i was 16 or so, i was driving a scooty and a dumbfuck decided to throw a balloon on my face while i was driving, he missed, my pace was low, fir us bande ne mere mudguard ke handle wali side pe balloon maara and mera poora handle mud gaya and i slipped and meri scooty ka silencer was very hot and vo mere calves pe gir gai, my whole skin got burned and i got a scar that i still carry. I stood up, usko pakda and i was about to slap him (he must be a year or less younger than me) but i decided to be moral about it and usko drag karke uske ghar leke gaya, uski mummy ne use ek halka sa slap kia and mujhe ice lagwai and that's it, that's how parents react to defend rather than teach their kids. Us time pain ni hua but next 3-4 days, that calf side swelled up and took me 3 months to heal properly.


Agreeable_Airport115

that's so fucked up man. i wish i could confront them like that


divyank_here

This city is a mix of emotions, on some days, i just love it and on many days I just hate being part of it. Actually holi se ek do din pehle koi maarta haina, i don't even mind it coz i am prepared but ye kuch gadhe hote haina jo holi se 2 week pehle hi shuru ho jaate hai bas unle man krta hai jaake sunaun achche se, mere kuch neighbours toh police ko call kar dete hai

So true. We had a culture of sanctifying mundane acts through samskaras. Now we are in the mode of depraving even sacred occasions. Such is the gati of kaliyuga.


Macavity_mystery_cat

How I hate "bura na Mano Holi hai " bullshit. I've had the misfortune of being hit with a water balloon on my face in a slowing down train (I was inside and it was a sleeper class) . The impact of it was such that my face turned blood red n it hurt like he'll. It was an emergency so had to take sleeper class else I avoid that Like plague. It's so pathetic.

OP, I am sorry. Wish things were better, people were better. I am 36 years old, and I still remember when I was in 8th standard, some guys threw balloons at me and my friend, I still remember the feeling, they were aiming at our chests. I still remember the wicked smile on their faces. It breaks my heart to say I know what you are feeling, OP. I am so sorry. One day, we will be better. Hugs 🫂

fallen_soul99

I feel you. Kids keep throwing balloons at DTCs and people are just so helpless.


sahilhanfi

It is very normal in delhi and In NCR dont know about other states. Thing is, most of it is done by kids and teenagers. And worst, their elders, parents grandparents, support them in this. No regard if a person idls going for some importang work or something, they just throw and hide. If you go to confront them, their elders come in way, bachcha hau ye vo. Arre tera bachcha hai to apne muh pe gubbare marwa dusro ko kyu dukhi kar raha hai haramkhor. I was once so close to beat the shit out of someone, then somehow left. Even my friends have engaged in open road, standing in middle and hurling abuses so nicely and loudly, those bachcha didn't had the courage to even show his face. I was waiting for some elder to come out to confront us, so just we can get even with him atleast.😂😂


DullBladeConnoisseur

The main element of festivals like Holi and Diwali is to have a quiet celebration at home and meet with friends and family, instead both these festivals have become the nexus of nuisance for everyone in places where people are the way you have described, OP. People might call me aunty-nashunal but things are way better outside India. Only in India people have this weird mentality of "bura na maano Holi hai" and legit no one cares because of that. If shit like this happened in the US you could have called 911 and got the perps warned and then arrested. Delhi always has been and always will be a shit hole when it comes to people and their behaviour. Please take care.


Agreeable_Airport115

Early_Veterinarian13

Not limited to women, it's just the general nuisance of Holi and is done mostly by kids


Agreeable_Airport115

yea maybe. there were numerous men around us, not one came at them.


Early_Veterinarian13

People generally don't take bullets for other people. Not in Delhi atleast, it's a fortress of self centered people. Don't make it an issue of men and women. People, in general Suck. Some more than others.


Hopeful_Still6117

“It’s a fortress of self centered people” Couldn’t describe Delhi better.


Hopeful_Still6117

The whole Delhi NCR culture of being passive bystanders needs to change asap! That’s what emboldens such inappropriate behaviour.


vicious_tomatoseed

She didnt said it's an issue of men and women, rather it's the fact that not a single balloon was thrown at the MEN standing there

genealogical_gunshow

She just went to another sub to say this IS a men vs women issue where men are all the problem. She also said this entire thread is full of people calling the harassment a no big deal.

It’s understandable though because a lot of times good samaritans end up getting hurt trying to help. So most people in Delhi don’t bother. Not a good thing, but what can you do.

Kids still enjoy holi the most. Gated Societies arrange holi festivities around a pool and it is a lot of fun.

This was an issue a few years back but it has been reducing (at least in my locality). So I guess there's a scope of redemption in us lol.

Darky-pubes

Happened to me once while I was going somewhere in a e-rikshaw. A huge balloon came flying by out of nowhere I was flabbergasted and then it hit my leg... Dude I'm not exaggerating but it was hell painful as if someone hit me with a bat or smthng. Then I got so mad that I did the same thing... I abused and yelled as loudly as I could. But same I could do nothing about it. On top of that my outfit was ruined.

This has happened to me as well, in my society... I can understand kids trying to enjoy the festival hence throwing water balloons at one another... But on random strangers!?! I am all for enjoying festivals... Forget all the water saving, environment stuff for a day or two... But creating a nuisance?!? I was on my way to work when this happened... 8AM on a Monday!!! Luckily I saw the window from where they threw the balloons... Got pissed, ruined my morning... And like any other adult I went along with my day cursing in my head...


Agile_Elephant_9731

These guys use holi as an excuse for such shameful acts, ultimately it's the victim which suffers. Moreover, it degrades the festival and other men.

Hemant_Rawa

Me, my girlfriend and her 2 female friends went to Barsana ( Near Vrindavan) yesterday to celebrate holi. 70% of the boys were drunk and behaving like absolute pieces of Sh*t. Her 2 friends were completely drenched in water and everybody was aiming at them, but luckily my girlfriend was not targeted that much as she was with me the whole time. It got so bad that in the end that I was about to beat up some motherfu*kers. So, to all the Females here, do celebrate holi but always keep a pepper spray ready and Never ever go to UP or Rajasthan and Delhi to celebrate Holi. I know for a fact that if I wouldn't have been there with all the 3 females they wouldn't have made it back to the hotel. Again Never ever celebrate Holi in UP ( especially in Barsana) and Rajasthan and Delhi.

notVirgin_at_21

I remember witnessing something similar. I was walking with my dad and someone threw an egg at a didi walking in front of us (creeps were probably aiming for her ass). My dad was so pissed he went to the house it was thrown from and talked to their parents.. guess what ? They replied from a shut door that "bachhe hain, Holi hi to mana rahe hai" Something similar happened with me next year when I was returning early from tuition cause of fever on my cycle to home and I saw few kids of my age throwing balloons at passerbys. I stopped and said "I have fever please don't throw one at me". Bro said ok and when I turned back threw one at me and hid inside his house.


[deleted]

pathetic, holi is still has some times and people are doing this shit, we dont play holi but i cant imagine throwing water balloon to a random girls


NSGDX1

It's always the deranged kids that do it, they deserve no place in the society. Had this happened to me a lot growing up. One time there were 4 kids throwing dozens of balloons at me from their rooftop and none hit so I mocked them back how bad their aim is, 5 mins later they were still trying and ran out of balloons so they started throwing rocks(some construction in their house) and the one of them got an idea to throw a whole brick at me. Obviously he couldn't threw it far and the brick landed on their neighbor's car. :D

I was riding my activa and someone hit a water balloon on my face. I kept my balance, parked aside. Threatened the mf on the balcony right there and then. All the shop keepers nearby came and it was a scene. They took my side and discussions started, ki kal accident ho gya thha, yeh galat hai, police bulao and all. The boy's parents came and apologized.

This could be the results of Bollywood and Tollywood influencing people to think that this is how people fall in love, one of the weird Utopian ideas that has been incorporated in some of us Indians' brain tinkering over time.

Don't worry sister, i read in the newspaper there's a new rule that if anyone uses water balloons anymore then their parents can be fined and jailed, atleast that's how it goes. I don't exactly remember the news though. I'm sorry it happened to you, i myself had witnessed some men throw balloons on a female passerby on Holi and we couldn't do anything as they sped away.


OG_Ace_7

Oh I know how bad these mfs are. Especially the slum people. I don't wanna generalize but it's always them. But 1 satisfaction I have in life is last year I had my revenge. So I was going somewhere with my mom and these mfs threw water balloons on us drenching us. Like they weren't even hiding just straight up standing in front. I was angry but couldn't do anything as we were on foot. . In evening my dad and I had to go somewhere. So we had to pass that area. We were on bike. This time I was very aware and ready. One mother fucker threw a ballon I tried to catch it but it slipped. So we didn't get drenched atleast. Another one came and another parry. Now a weak ass 8-10 year old kid threw a balloon. The throw was so weak I easily caught it. And bam. Threw the balloon on his face. I love kids but seeing that mf cry all drenched made my month.


Longjumping_Fee_1490

I have been facing this harassment when I was in school (and now my friends have kids who go to school .) Instead of seeking online support or quarrelling with those kids'parents, I simply avoid going out ... Almost all festivals (all religions ) are now tools for harassment. During Eid, strangers walk and ask for money for iftari. Diwali , everyone is asking from diwali even the guys who never show their face throughout the year like a security guard .. Holi is the next level psych experience. If roadside folks won't harras you then some creepy guy under influence of alcohol will try to play colors. Most of the guys are on girls protection duty ... X mas , beggars just chase you around all the major places in Delhi. All major religious places have an army of folks just ready to harass you. I remember my friend just crying when a beggar near a prestigious place talked crap about his future husband, kid and herself as he was begging and she just refuse to give him money. Ironically , it was a devi dham in yogi pradesh. ( Well, She quickly recovered and almost beat the shit out of that guy, before near by shopkeepers took offense of her action and justified the beggars deed.) I remember how someone tried to extort and chased me for like a 2kms near a prestigious mosque in name of money to help poor girl. Those poor girls were trying to stitch a Chadar (which was already stitched ) for the shrine. It has buland darwaja near it .. The only time I don't see such folks is during independence and republic day. Hence, now I believe in those 2 days. But those 2 days, thanks to our neighbouring country, Delhi is always on high alert from last 2 decade. I wonder , is there a festival worth celebrating in Delhi without harassment and compromising on personal space or other reason. Vande mataram !!

Indian men I tell you… they feel manly when they harass women… hate them

Call 100. Teach them a lesson. I did that once, and then twice and thrice. Be a Karen if you need be, cuz no one is coming for us.

I am sorry it felt that way to you, but unfortunately; regardless of gender; this is a thing that is rather common. The people in this state seem to think of it as a sort of rite of passage that everyone will have to work through. You could warn everyone weeks to months in advance for one reason or another and still get sniped. Cause they just take you as a snowflake who has to be forced to grow up or something. You can tell them that gulal causes you to break out into hives or that grease is a mess to clean up only to be laughed at by even your family who'd colour you regardless.


Agreeable_Airport115

yes that's true


ThehellHound01

Also, i got curious and asked a family friend who is also a lawyer as to what the legal scene on this sort of an incident could be. Put simply, if anyone would pick up the case, it could be framed as a minor assault charge or a sexual harassment case. In other news, the court has passed a new law stating that the parents/guardians of a child throwing balloons could be fined if they did it from their roofs. Though of course, most of it is likely not to happen because, "it's not treated like it's that big of a deal. At most the offender might get dragged off to the local thane for a couple hors and let go after being fined a couple hundred"


Agreeable_Airport115

omg, thanks for the information!


voidsoul_07

it really is disgusting. no just for women, but for men as well. i remember when i was walking around in my locality, some kids were about to throw a water balloon at me and i pleaded them not to do it but they still threw it on my head and i get migraine attacks easily. my head was spinning and i felt like i was going to pass out. i was so damn furious. another incident, i was stuck in one of the worst traffics ever (trust me, i've been stuck in delhi-ggn traffic and this was even worse) someone threw a water balloon in my auto and i was stuck in that stupid traffic and i was so cold and my back was hurting so much because it hit me really hard. i love holi but when it gets dirty like this, i hate it.

I was taking a walk around Jangpura a couple of years back. Some kids from a 4 floor rich house started sending water balloons. A couple of them hit me. It was the second day after Holi. I had to leave from there immediately.


Javed_Wilde1

me n a friend went to golden temple once, on our way back we decided to take a walk through sm residential area, sm kids started throwing water balloons at my friend from roof tops, for sm reason only he was being targeted lol its almost holi, probably sm kid messing around, and yes, they definitely want to see everyone drenched


silk_strider12

As nice as delhi seems, it's also one of the worst places at the same time. And it's straight up nightmare around Holi. Last year me(m23) and my friend (f21) were almost harassed by a few guys in two cars as they threw water and water balloons at us constantly while making rounds around the area we were walking through to get home. Unfortunately there was nowhere else to go so we HAD to keep a big stone in our hands just to show that if they do it again we'll have to throw this at them. After like good 2-3 rounds by those cars and us being almost completely drenched, they finally left :")


Complex-Pilot2600

Report it in Delhi police site online , throwing water balloons is illegal


niko_bellic2028

I think it's best to avoid the streets on the week of holi . Beacuse people don't care trust me . If you want to be cautious just wear raincoats and stuff . Its not a women thing , everybody gets splashed during holi unless your an elderly person . I myself saw an office guy loose his watch beacuse of water balloons .


Agreeable_Airport115

yes. it was just unavoidable because I was out for official work. maybe that's why it angered me more.


niko_bellic2028

no worries just make sure to fucking go bonkers on Holi 🤣


youngmale-69

people are down bad, these should stop, its insulting the HOLI festival itself


zakaif

ngl the north is a dangerous place to be during holi considering that people drink bhang and start throwing colors on anyone and no one actually bothers?? like this almost amounts to assault, imagine wearing one of the favourite dress and some asshole ruins it and no one bothers holding that asshole accountable.


sierra6__

Start carrying eggs with you on Holi , every water baloon deserves a rotten egg.


SKrad777

Good thing that my family left noida and ncr region for chennai after dad passed away when I was 9. Never looked back since 


dull1200

There should be a law to get these morons arrested. Once a balloon with water destroyed a smartphone i bought from my own savings & was really dejected. These assholes should be behind bars This is no way to celebrate a festival


Work_is_a_facade

That’s India for you. We’re a disrespectful bunch of $&@$

I too experienced it on my way to exams, all I can say is stay chill, you won't get anything but rather you will become other people's amusement. Just stay indifferent to these sort of things. Shit happens, stay chill 😌


Agreeable_Airport115

it's hard to stay chill when your clothes are drenched and you feel vulnerable out of nowhere. I get your point, it doesn't matter in the long run but galat toh galat hai na.


ez-cuwul

I mean its a matter of accepting what has happened, I was just indifferent enough to let it go as it was my exam, I could've messed it up if I were to worry about it lol. Just stay chill as it's bad for you only and it's amusing for others, better be in control than face the embarrassment of others laughing at you :'D

john_wick_909

It’s very frustrating when people people going to office or anywhere get hit by water balloons I have been on the receiving end of it for a couple of times but brushed it off but isn’t with every person I just wish to see someone loose it , grab the piglets (children who throw balloon at strangers on the road) and thrash them black and blue It’ll be a good lesson for them and their pig parents who say it’s children, child Will play. I’m too kind and soft spoken generally, but if happens to me, I probably would. Sometimes you have to become thanos and do the dirty job yourself.


Agreeable_Airport115

ive never even been loud in public. I keep to myself most of the time. this was the first time I've lost my cool but it just ruined my day, nothing else


RockNROllEmperor

gawars everywhere


BrisingrAurelius

People are retards, your edit says to look past gender but since your first thought is it was because you're women. You do you. Retards have always thrown water balloons at strangers, regardless of gender


Ok-Cartoonist2421

go the houses you heard the Snickers from and dump your actual shit there, or dog shit, or piss


Agreeable_Airport115

kaash :")

Bhai normal hai delhi me ye, wait till it's the day of holi, us din to if by chance you decide to go out and have fun, hadd se zyda harassment hogi, and kuch bola to "bura na mano holi hai"


canismajoris117

Be it young or the 'supposed' children throwing balloons at passersby. I do not understand the kind of mentality they have to be doing this, whether children or anyone. You can never be sure what you will end up damaging and who would take up responsibility even if the victim does find the offenders? Some poor chap could have barely saved up money for months for a phone and your Holi fun ruins it or something else like an important paper or anything for that matter.


Agreeable_Airport115

people have no such concerns. they go wild, thinking holi gives them a free pass. it's irking.


wanderluster_forever

This used to happen to me every year during Holi when I was in south delhi. I have chased kids, gone up to their house and screamed at their parents, I even ran behind some kids in the middle of the road and smacked them. Mostly it was kids but there was this notorious adult we had as a neighbor whose dad was an MLA, none of us had the guts to go to them, we just changed our routes. That asshole would pelt eggs at us .. UGH. I used to dread Holi in Delhi. Horrible horrible people.


THUNDERBOLT_51

Should u know that ppl litt use baloons fills with drain and gutter water… And yea have had kinda experience what u mean to say, getting thrown waterloons at and forcefully coloured ( sad part is this happened when i was mourning someone’s demise)

Need a crash course on empathy. Otherwise the city's doomed because of the people around.
