Holi....... Rang de Basanthi re...
Thousands of miles away from home you seldom dream of celebrating a festival as exciting and colorful as Holi.. Considering the fact that it requires a little extra effort than the other 'purely food' based festivals..
For the culturally uninitiated, Holi is the festival of colors. It has different legends to back it up.. Holika's failed attempt at trying to kill Prahlad in the Narasimha avatar is probably the most popular... Poothana making a failed attempt to kill Krishna is also considered...
Red represents purity, energy, passion..
Yellow repels evil, symbolises chastity..
Blue to mean calm, deep and sacred...
Green oozes life, fertility and vitality..
An absolutely normal Wednesday morning.. Anand and I made a sudden plan to smear some paint on the vanilla life of the denizens of Apt 708... Colors procured... Time decided... Dressed in white... Brought each of them out of the house... and Attttaackkkk..........
In no time... around 25 desis where disturbed from their normal living... smeared colors and it was a HUGEEEEEEEEEE success...
What followed was a hearty desi meal at B'bay bistro..
