Happy Holi!

Holi GreetingsHoli Colours
Holi Fun

Today is the colorful festival of Holi, where people apply colors on each other...children will already have special plans for this day...This festival welcomes the spring and throw off the gloom of winter....In my homeland the play is all over but here it just started...Good time for friends and family to get together and have a good time...and this gives people a good reason to rejoice, make merry and submerge themselves into the spirit of Holi!.....exchange of gifts, sweets and greetings also takes place...

This festival has its ancient origin and celebrates the triumph of "good over bad". Numerous legends and stories are associated with Holi Celebration which makes the festival even more exuberant and vivid. Not to forget that I have several memories too attached with this festival and they are all coming back to me now....Still remember how I used to be drenched in colors and my dad not recognizing me, thinking me to be an outsider and telling me to leave the premises....Funny ha!

On that note folks I conclude "Happy Holi", Happy Weekend and "Happy Easter"!

Wow this reminds me of all the fun we had back in India. I remember people going around the streets with tin drums filled with colored powder and big syringes filled with colored water. I miss those days !!!

Rinaya,
You write very well, what can I say, like an allrounder. If you can help write my Bio, probably I can get a better job.

Tanya, Priya Subroto, Venkat and Avi: I miss those days as well when I used to hang around from one street to the other throwing colors, having fun, frolic and laughter..
