How did Holi become a festival of colours?
The legend from which the tradition of playing colours started is full of colours in itself. The story goes that the very colourful Indian god, Lord Krishna was jealous of his soul mate Radha's fair complexion, since he himself was very dark. Naughty young Krishna complained to his mother Yashoda about this injustice of nature. To placate the child, doting mother asked Krishna to apply colour on Radha's face and change her complexion according to his choice. Playful and mischievous Krishna appreciated the idea and implemented it. The game of applying colours thus gained so much popularity that it became a tradition and later it turned out to be a full fledged festival. Till date, lovers desired to colour and be coloured by their mates. The application of colours has in a way become an expression of love.
What's the most interesting concept for a film festival?
Usually film festival’s are based on either 2 things: location or genre.For instance, if you live in a city that doesn’t currently have a film festival, then you would organize one and hope to attract independent film makers to submit to it. If your city already has a film festival that is doing fine for itself, then you would want to look into a specific genre. Its best to choose one that you are actually passionate about.Creating and organizing a film festival is a great deal of work and its not really all that lucrative until you have proved you can do it successfully for several years in a row.BTW, I suggest doing an internship or trying to get hired by a film festival organization. It will provide you some good insight into how it all works.Since you haven’t mentioned anything about your background or why your asking this question, I’ll just hope that the above answer gives you a good place to start and something to consider going forward.

Do you think the proposed 'man-free' music festival in Sweden is a good idea?
Lots of different issues to deal with here…First, do they have a right to discriminate? Sure. They need to admit that is what they are doing though. It’s fine. They have a reason. They can’t really say anything if some other group decides to have a Muslim free concert or a Folkepartiet Liberalerna free concert however. If they can discriminate, so can everyone else. The Pride parades discriminate. UC Berkeley has discriminated a bunch of times. But neither will admit it and both would go out of their way to point out discrimination by others. It’s not the discrimination that most have a problem with, (other than the free speech issues at a publicly funded institution) it’s the hypocrisy. You cannot have things both ways.Would I go to a parallel all male festival? Nope. Not anything in protest, I just would rather go with all of my friends and relatives in a more inclusive environment. The people holding such an event will find out that it’s going to be much harder to sell tickets because a lot of people will feel like me as well. Discrimination tends to be self policing when money is involved. When you turn away large groups of customers, the profit potential goes down.Does Sweden have a bigger problem? Yes. Refugees have failed to integrate, resulting in an increase in crime and the crime of rape in particular. Other Swedes are shunned when they even try to point out the problem which is eventually going to result in a backlash. Perhaps even another Brexit type backlash. The defenseless population relies on the government to protect them and the government doesn’t seem to be equipped to do so. Solving the problem is made much more difficult when government refuses to admit the root cause.What do Swedes need to do? This is difficult because of the way Swedish culture can penalize you for daring to suggest that there is a problem. Try to figure out ways to voice your concerns anonymously online and find other individuals like you online as well. Start demanding government protection for events like this and vote for politicians that promise to do so. Vote for politicians that demand that refugees integrate or leave. It is not intolerant to ask a refugee to obey the law in return for taking them in. This is going to be an uphill battle because the biggest obstacle to solving the problem is being allowed to admit that there is a problem.I wish you all the best.

I just converted over to Christianity about a year ago and have been attending church and following Christ. I like electronic music and used to go to festivals a couple years back. My friends invited me to one this coming spring and i was wondering if it would be a good thing going to an edm festival.
