Difference Between Holi And Holika Dahan | Holi Festival 2023
Holi and Holika Dahan are two different but related events that are celebrated during the Hindu festival of Holi. Holika Dahan, also known as Chhoti Holi or Holika Puja, is a ritual that takes place on the night before the main Holi celebration. It involves lighting a bonfire and burning an effigy of Holika, a demoness who, according to Hindu mythology, tried to kill Prahlad, a devotee of Lord Vishnu. The bonfire symbolizes the victory of good over evil, and the burning of Holika represents the triumph of devotion and righteousness over wickedness and arrogance.

Multi-Hyphenate Actor, Recording Artist, and Filmmaker Amir Royale Drops Seductive Single “Pruane” (feat. Lulu Kirtchuk and Devereaux)
From Amir Royale I’ve tasted toxicity. I’ve lusted after romance in a way that may have been unhealthy for a couple of years. I’ve misunderstood cues during intimacy before but have also had partners not reciprocate my passion or attention to detail. “Pruane” is about being in that center space between ‘DTF buddies’ and ‘soulmates.’ That unspoken sense of attachment intertwined with the minutiae of apathy. Somewhere smack in the middle of possessive and protective, sexual and sensual, in-love and out of it. We search for the love we think we deserve – and the people that are right for us; we often overlook or undervalue them. Maybe one day I’ll finally start getting all this stuff right. ‘Til then, I’m content sitting still. Walk good, take care. 🌺❤️‍🩹🌺

On the Birthday of Johnny Cash
"God has his hand on you."--Carrie Cloveree Cash The image of Johnny Cash is as indelible as that of Elvis Presley or James Dean, Marilyn, or Judy Garland--an American Icon, an original from a country that once was known for birthing the cultural milestones that would rock the rest of the world. I'm no expert on the man's life; I know that his father laughed sardonically when someone quipped "John's going places," laughed, and replied. 'Yeah, he's going right back into those cotton fields."
