Holi....

Holi as all of us know it's a festival of color, love, peace and togetherness
I used to be a active participant and used to play every year since childhood. Since last two year I am in US at this time of the year so I am not able to celebrate it's with full zest, if at all we want to celebrate it is not possible will all enthusiasm and energetic 1. It's snow all around 2. Its sub zero temperature.
So today is just like any other day for me... I wish this is last time i am not playing holi...

Few of the Holi celebration I remember are:

- This one at my office... wind down calendar 4 years... Back then our office group, believed in celebrating all the festivals from Holi to Christmas/New Year.... Holi being the first festival of the year it was always fun… We would sent invite to the whole building (roughly 400+) people but we knew that only people to attend would be our team (50+) we got all organic colors just to make sure that people don't constraint by telling that I am allergic.
Once all the people in our group were all colored.... We planned to visit all floor and make sure to color all volunteer who want to be part of it but could not come by.... So we colored coloring people who willing wanted to be part of the Holi… from 6th floor to ground floor.

- This one is special as it was with all my college friends.... every year our group played Holi in incremental way... It is like one or two will start from their place, drop by another friends place color him, this is used to continue till late afternoon and we all group by then would have covered half of Pune...

Playing Holi with kids is most interesting of all, we used to form multiple teams and chase each other

By late afternoon we would be all tired and beyond reorganization....

Next day going to office is more amazing as he trace of color on our face and hands which were all ready to scream out and tell all how fun and great HOLI we had…
