Last evening the Hindu holiday of Holi began. It is the annual Spring festival of colors. So, why am I wishing a Happy Holi or होली होली to readers of my blog? Because I have many Hindi speaking readers. Just to be clear though, not all Hindi speaking people are Hindu and not all Hindus speak Hindi, but the majority of each is also the other, got it? Hindi is a language and Hindu is a religion.
So what exactly is Holi? It’s a Hindu Spring festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil and light over the darkness. It is a time of forgiveness and repairing relationships. And it involves drinking a lot of Feni, a lot of fireworks, and everyone getting covered in colorful powder.
So why do so many Hindi speaking people read my blog? Because of three posts about हिंदी सेक्स over the last three years my blog has become a hotspot for the Hindi speaking crowd. I imagine that in India there are entire internet message boards dedicated to discussing फिल फैक्टर (Phil Factor). What posts are those? I’m glad you asked:
Real Sexting Conversations to Read In Hindi?
How Ron Burgundy Will Save Hindi Sex
The rest of this post will be in Hindi in deference to my many Hindi speaking readers and friends. होली मुबारक! फिल फैक्टर दुनिया का सबसे अच्छा ब्लॉग है! मेरी किताबें खरीदें और आप अपने सपनों के साथ मिलेंगे!
Have a great Friday! ~फिल
#PHIL2020
You know… I saw that on my iCalendar and wondered what it was. It’s the first time it’s been included. Thanks for the explanation, Phil. 😃
That’s funny. I saw it on my iCalender and thought I had previously put it there to remind myself to write a blog post about it!
Hahaha! That’s awesome!
My son did a project on this Hindu festival last year, Phil. Very interesting.

Obviously, they have no idea what they’re reading!! (LOL)
