Happy Holi !!!

11^th March, 2009 – Haappppyy Holi!! Celebrated Holi on campus, for the first time :) …and I must say it was amazing fun!! 

This was the first time that I played Holi with “keechad”! In fact, I played more Holi with keechad than colors this time!! (It was yucky in the beginning…but after some time Ravi reasoned it was working like a scrub, so I thought…oh, what the hell! Bring it on!! Lolzz…)

I got up late in the morning, around 11:23…didn’t wake up in a good mood, so was contemplating whether to go for the Holi celebrations or not…then after some time, decided to go nevertheless…had just finished carrying out mum’s instructions (“rub oil beta…that’ll help avoid settling of the colors on the skin”) when a couple of juniors barged into the room and covered my face green! (Incidentally, that was the maximum color I was going to get from a single person the whole day!)…

After that I went down to JLT…(was without my specs, so all that I could see from such a distance was a mass of color moving here and there…)…and within 2 mins of reaching the grass, was t-shirt-less!!! Bloody hell! They didn’t let it be on me for even 2 mins…and it wasn’t that it “got torn in the course of playing Holi”, my dear Chandu just tore it off me coz he wanted a t-shirt to go to the faculty quarters!!! (Came to know about this a lil later in the evening, when he told me :) ) Must say it was quite awkward in the beginning…but then I looked around and saw, well…heh heh heh…so I thought, well…heh heh heh [:-P]…

…all this is post thought. Back then, I didn’t have too much time to think…as soon as my t-shirt gladly left me (coz it didn’t make any effort not to leave me!), some 3-4 people grabbed me and threw me in the mud pond…and started pulling and tugging me as if I was a knife they were trying to sharpen!! In the next 2 mins, I was covered with mud all over! Yuck! And then came Harry…! ‘twas as if people were waiting for her to come…as soon as she came down, she too was thrown in the mud pond, then immediately in the water pond, then mud pond again…7 times!!! OMG!

From then on, there was no looking back…slinging mud here, wishing “Happy Holi!” there, throwing someone in the pond here, getting suddenly thrown in mud / water pond there…it was a roller-coaster of two hours…! In the end, was so exhausted that I didn’t have the energy to lift a finger and each a bit too, even though I was famished!

Awwwssomme fun!! Will remember this Holi for a long time :) :) Happy Holi!!
