As lights are to diwali.
So are colors to Holi .
While many of the ‘very’ sane ppl in India don’t celebrate Holi… It being not very elegant or sophisticated. Most of sane and insane India celebrates Holi with full gusto, colors and water !!
But there’s also this another insanely insane group that just refuses play by the rule book. They play with everything but colors. Be it mud, oil paints, eggs … Oh the list is endless .
My college however has this famous tradition of kicchad (wet mud) Holi! So for this one day, forget lectures, forget classes (some would say we do that everyday :P) and Techo turns from a college to literally a mud spa with students running around drenched in mud from head to toe!
And now that the skin is nourished why should the hair be left behind!? So you have eggs splashed on each others head. Some would say ewwww but the insanely insane say: bura na mano Holi hai! 😉
Personally Techo changed my perspective of holi and tempted the child in me to try it out once again! After yrs and years of playing with color and water, Holi had become bit of a bore, somewhat mundane….But this new take on Holi i must say was worth a try and oh boy! Was it fun !!
A very Happy Holi and Happy Dhuleti to all my readers !!
