Needed: A hatke Holi playlist: We're putting together a kickass Holi party playlist—but without the usual suspects like ‘Rang Barse’. To mix it up a little, we’re looking for songs that capture the spirit of the festival—playful, raunchy and, umm, high-spirited. Interpret it as you will, and as always, we are language agnostic. Add your picks to this handy chhota form.
