A Different Color.

Yes as per the subjects line the talk here is all about our beloved fest HOLI.

To tell you the truth i have celebrated it in a different Color, every year of my life.
Although i am writing this blog out here but hopefully u all will find the similarities in the ways we have celebrated HOLI since our child hood till date.

Every child in the world has a special love for festivals and a zeal to celebrate them.
When we were small we celebrated HOLI with Pichkari(Water gun) - of shapes varying from one looking like a small Gun to the one looking like a Rocket. With these small water guns we used to run all over the places trying hit the water Jet directly in the eyes of the people.
At age of around 10-12 years, we celebrated it with the water balloons and after that came the buckets. Then buckets were replaced by drums and i remember once upon a time we did find a Tube-Well at a farm house of a friend. Holi was really a fun packed festival every time every year.

The few thing we all love about holi is Colours, Thandai, Gujiya, Dahee-Bade, and the hectic Bath after having played the Holi in high spirits. Yesterday i went to buy some Gujiya for myself, so that I don't miss my MOM for Gujiyas. Eating Gujiya is the best entertaining option if you are not playing with colors.

To tell you more about the most loved moments of Holi celebration in our very own BANARAS in the HOSTEL of MECH-07 in 2nd Year.
Since the last evening some of them(Mech bonds) have left the garden taps open and by the morning time a huge potion of the garden had turned into a pond filled with muddy water. Then the real Holi began, we brought each and every one of the fellas from their rooms and threw them directly into the Pit.
The funniest moment was when one Guy entered from the hostel gate on his bike, and the moment he saw us playing Holi like that, he just stopped the bike then and there and ran away, he also left the keys of the bike. But we chased him and tore away all his clothes as punishment then drowned him in the same pit. But very soon, we were also left with few rags to cover ourselves. :)
After the Mud bath we played the regular colorful holi. In the afternoon started the tiresome cleaning process but after that was the turn of Thandai mixed with Bhang to complete the fun for the day.

Today in Job life, none of us(Mech-07) hope to get the same kind of fun and we are not sad as we do understand that its of
'A Different Color' every time.
