On the cloths, on the faces
On the floor, in the air,
Red or green, chose your color
Color everything, Colors everywhere
Well I’m just trying to be poetic
Blue, orange, red, green, all are invited in this unique festival of colors, “Holi”. Just as all these colors mixed into each other, people come together, leaving all their differences behind to celebrate Holi. Only fun and mischief is allowed.
I stopped playing Holi long time back as I’m allergic to the chemicals used in colors these days. But it’s always fun to watch others play and get absolutely drenched in different colors. Ultimately the only color left on everyone’s faces is black and believe me after getting colored so much you can not even recognize your spouse
.
This Holi I was in my old society in Pune and thanks to my friend Kam who lended his second GF, his all new Canon DSLR to me, I got real colorful shots.
Holika was a demon which was burnt on the previous night of Holi.
People color each other and greet “Happy Holi”.
Holi is a festival for everyone and for all ages..
This cutie pie was also in with her own “Pichkari”.
When you know you are going to get colored there is no point in resisting. You just can’t escape..
My friends…yes I can recognize them
And I was done with my photo shoot. Watching everyone playing and enjoying so much I just couldn’t resist myself…













Thanks 7theaven

Glad that you liked it
Double wow…I have -got- to research this celebration/holiday. ” … people come together, leaving all their differences behind to celebrate Holi. Only fun and mischief is allowed.” I so love that concept!! Gorgeous pics, btw, but I’m glad that you put the camera down and went to have fun with everyone. That’s what life is.
I follow Coyote, the Trickster, as my gravatar attests, and I’m working on writing something about finding Trickster in the modern world. Is there an Indian version? Someone who was perhaps always causing mischief, and getting in trouble, but always in a way that taught a lesson?
hey..you sure can find more on this festival and you are welcome to our country anytime ..you’ll eveperience many more such festivals
about the Trickster well i need to find out
there has to be some
looking forward to read your ppost about it
Thanks! I’ll try to take you up on the invitation.
As for reading more about Holi…all I have to say is hooray for Wiki!! I was so uncomfortable the day they shut down…it sure accomplished its purpose. No disassemble my internets! It felt like one of my hands was gone, I use it so much. My mom constantly asks me things, like “When was so-and-so-celebrity born, and was it before or at the same time as other-so-and-so?”. And I can jump right in there, and quick like a bunny pull the answer out of my hat…or at least my beloved laptop. *laughs*
exactly
wikipedia and google have been an integral parts of our lives now
