holi... the colors and the splash...
Holi... The word reminds me of filling water balloons ... The colour... And running hard to avoid those very water balloons... My first wrist watch was a prize my dad won in musical chair at his company's Holi party. I was so ecstatic... For a little girl of standard first, wearing a wrist watch to school was a huge bragging point. My brother still feels cheated that I got the watch at such a young time, when they got their watches in 5th class. Well each generation enjoys certain privileges. The toddlers are enjoying nursery rhymes on I-pads these days, could we even think about it then? Oh back to holi. Personally I attach holi to start of summers, which is a bit sad for a winter loving person like me. But I love the colours , yellow, red ,green, violet, blue,... ink, cow dung, mud.... Hahhahaah yes... why not...!!! Don't lie.. it's the truth... Is there a child who has not thrown ink at friends or who himself has not been ink-victimized.. then the mud and cow dung..eee...
