Was talking to my darling niece this morning on the phone, and she tells me that its Rang panchmi (Holi) today. Its just yesterday we had been to Wall-Mart, and I could've picked some colors..but now I had just two colors to play with..yellow and red. One of the turmeric powder and other of a red powder that is treated sacred (kunku ;))..good that I could utilize it some day :) And ya, we had holy this morning :) Painted all of roomies faces right on their bed...and also painted one of our friend's face nicked Pehlwan ;)..and everyone woke up this morning playing colors...I was forcibly taken under the shower by my roomies with color even in my hair! Even now my hands have the turmeric color and odor. Was fun!

This holy was nano when compared to the kind of holi we have at my place back in Pune. We just go crazy! Play all day...and then take a shower and eat puran poli..anything for such a fun :) I'm logging all the festivals that I'II have to (untimely) celebrate once I'II be back home for a limited time...my sis is already planning for all the days I'II be there.. :)
