NEW DELHI, March 13 (Xinhua) -- India Monday celebrated Holi, the Hindu festival of colors which comes at the end of the winter season and marks the beginning of spring.


In the Indian capital, people cutting across ages threw colored powder and liquids at each other to mark the festival which also signifies the victory of good over evil, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships.


"This is the time to smear each other with colors. It's the festival of love and togetherness when you forget the past," said Navin Chowdhury, a local resident, sipping a glass of thandai (a special drink laced with bhangs (addictive substance) prepared only for the festive day.


"It's the most energetic festival," he added.


Some of the biggest celebrations took place in Mathura and Vrindavan, two adjacent towns in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, barely 150 km from the national capital. Mathura is the birthplace of Hindu god Krishna and Vrindavan is where he played Holi with his consort Radha.


"I held a pichkaari (water gun) and I just didn't want to stop. It's time to immerse in colors. It's like an explosion in a paint factory here," said Dhiraj Singh, a Delhi resident who went to Mathura like every year just to play Holi for half a day.


So, what's the history of Holi in India?


Once upon a time, there was a demon king called Hiranyakashyap who asked everybody in his kingdom to worship only him. But his own son, Prahlad, disobeyed him and became a devotee of Hindu god Lord Naarayana instead.


Holi is celebrated to commemorate the miraculous escape of young Prahlad, despite being carried into the fire by the demoness Holika, sister of Hiranyakashyap. In India, on the day before Holi, people light bonfires to recall Prahlad's escape.


Holi derives its name from Holika and is celebrated as a festival of victory of good over evil.


Baseball is not the only sport where safety must be priority one but it is the one we’ll discuss here. Some players Andre Burakovsky Capitals Jersey , coaches and parents underestimate how dangerous baseball can be. While contact sports such as hockey and football are considered dangerous, players wear a great deal of protective gear, while in baseball, many such precautions are not followed. Still we must also consider the safety of the players in the game of baseball.


Communication is an important part of safety in any sport. One time when communication is essential is when fielders are going after a ball. Players must be taught to call out when they’re going for a ball, especially if other players are in the vicinity. Of course, confusion can still occur if two players both call for it at the same time, but at least then they’ll be aware of each other’s presence and can hopefully sort it out.


During practice sessions, coaches should give players a clear idea of who is expected to cover which territory so that everyone knows what to do. Both infielders and outfielders must learn to keep an eye on other players as well as the ball for safety reasons.


Players must always show the utmost awareness and respect for bats, which are among the most dangerous items in the game. Players should never swing bats casually, as that’s how accidents happen. A player who’s not at the plate or on deck should not be swinging a bat during a game, as this is the kind of thing that causes accidents. It should be a strict rule that players stay safely away from any player holding a bat. Someone swinging a bat has to always recognize the potential danger and not get close to anyone else. If everyone is made aware how dangerous bats can be, safety can be maintained and accidents avoided.


In addition to helmets batters can use other gear to protect themselves too. Reducing the impact of the bat meets ball sting can be accomplished with a good batting glove. These gloves protect the hand and wrist a well as aid in gripping the bat. You may want to consider a wrist guard to protect wrists from pitches. Mouth guards are also a good idea, especially if the helmet doesn’t have a face mask. Protecting your mouth and teeth from speeding balls is important. It’s a great idea to protect yourself as best you can in the batting position since this is the most dangerous position you can put yourself in. Use some common sense and the information you’ve learned here to provide the optimal experience for any player’s safety in baseball. Prevention is key to avoiding as many injuries and accidents in baseball as you can which is possible with the information you’ve learned here. No matter what your place in the game or on the sidelines be aware and follow the given guidelines. The guidelines above will help all involved enjoy baseball without accidents or injuries.
