"There are worse things than looking stupid. Sleeping through life is one of them." - Laura Preble
Holi is one of those festivals which you should only celebrate if you have a good gang to do it with. It's messy - there's toxic "herbal" chemical powder .... grease ... banned water balloons, little devils with pichkaris waiting at street corners... bhang... bhujias...
It may be so cliched but this is one festival that allows you to let your hair down and be totally chilled about life. I like it because for once even though you're now this stupid responsible adult planning your taxes - you can actually now be a kid again and do silly things like run around throwing water on people...
Ofcourse, only for one day though - when we in India usher in spring.
Spring is here now - full blown with the temperature to match. Today was a nice day to play holi - India even won in the match against New Zealand and no one plastered my car with colour and water even though I was out in the morning at an hour which can only be best described as "risky". But apparently others felt the same way with the result that most of Gurgaon's Sector Road was empty.
I'm so tired now... Even though I've been sleeping most of the day after I came back - probably the result of all that kesri milk I had to drink.
Ah well, the rest of the week beckons. Time to become an adult again.
