When playing with colour, avoid throwing water balloons on unsuspecting people. We are not even going into ghastly incidents in trains, but suffice to say that these have decreased yet, need to be obliterated forever.

Groups playing Holi amongst yourselves, do enjoy but keep an eye on the water buckets and do practise  conservation. Keep your fun and frolic restricted to your group as there may be others who do not wish to join in, respect their wishes.

Clean up post playing. This is important in buildings and residential colonies where water and colour is often streaked in passages, lifts and floors, long after festivities. In fact, restraint and responsibility puts the fun into festivals, never takes away from them.

Lastly, do not fall for baiters who oppose any appeals for safety by saying that the Hindu community or their festivals are being targeted. See through this pattern, and puncture that rabble rousing, celebrating with dignity and decorum, in the most joyous and memorable way.
