To all my wonderful friends, LinkedIn acquaintances, fellow NOCN Group coworkers, and my cherished #family near and far—Happy #Holi greetings from Malaysia. 🇲🇾 This vibrant festival is not just about the splash of colour, #gulal [coloured powder], and joyful celebrations; it serves as a powerful reminder of one's #selfacceptance. It invites us to embrace not only others but also ourselves with open hearts. Holi reminds us that life is messy, not neatly arranged, and ordered. However, it's about letting yourself be coloured. Just like the colours of #Holi, our emotions and experiences blend the different shades on a pallete 🎨 to create unique masterpieces that are us. To embrace without judgement and celebrate together. #Culture • #AcceptanceofSelf • #Holi2025 • #FestivalOfColour • #EmbraceTheShades
