Festivals – Ugly Indianツ

My Best HOLI

Holi: the colourful festival. It brings out the hidden kid, childishness within us and sometimes the devil present inside also. Yes, this is one of the unique festivals that has got all the happiest ingredients in it and sparks at regular intervals of time for the joy and happiness.

Holi- the festival which amazes and ignites the smiles on every individual’s face and heart. Once I got a chance to celebrate this holi fest with the unknown place and with the unknown peoples. For couple of days I had been deputed to north Karnataka for work. And I am coming back from the office after completing the allocated work. As the day is Saturday, I left the office in the afternoon. I got some updates from the collegues that the holi festival has got some different sort of craze here. So they give me a caution to be alert if someone attacks you with the colours. It was actually an invitation for me at that moment as I had a camera in my back already. So this going to be a perfect stage to click some colours and enjoy my rest of the hours in this place.

And believe that was the best experience of Holi till date, the celebration is not between the families, houses, roads or the areas. It’s completely open and the whole city was invited to jump in the pool of colours. Almost 500 to 700 people were celebrating this holi with colours. And there is no castism, regionalism and there is no upper class or a lower class. All are invited and welcomed with to the huge street where they indulge whole heartedly with the colours.

As they arranged in quite a good way with some the big business persons, big families has spend their buck on this celebration where I could find the 10-12 water tankers also. And the washed water will lead to the nearest gardens and to the farming land. It really amazes me for the idea that they invested to make this unique festival even more economically and environment friendly.

And I completely immersed, indulged and involved with the colours. And I just revisited to my childhood type of celebration and enjoyed like the kids who are celebrating their first holi. This is how the festival brings out the unity in diversity and makes more sense. And make everyone to fall in LOVE with colours, Colours for life. 🙂

My #KhulKeKheloHoli

HOLI: The festival of colours, the name itself is vibrant, joy, celebration and refreshment! This festival is exuberant and has a lot of meaning and a character in t. it has only 4 letters and it connects each and everyone with heart and through colours.
H for Happiness
O for Ocean of celebration
L for Lovely moments
I for it Integrates everyone
I believe HOLI is one of those festivals which is being celebrated by all the religions without any second thoughts in their mind.

Actually I could relishes and recollect few those moments of holi which adores the celebration of this fest. One which is in my school days, next at in the college, next in the office and the latest one is on the street with the unknown faces. All these are truly rejuvenating my livid moments with the colors!

Ok, come with me I will take you to those days to show how was my HOLI celebrations at that moment of time. It’s time here to revisit and relish those memories of the past. Well, actually I was at seventh standard and we did not have any specific holiday for the celebration of HOLI festival, so we were very much not aware of when is this festival going to celebrate. And this festival usually celebrated at the home in that period of time. And in our home, we are not fond of this holi festival but I was loved to celebrate with friends.

And it was afternoon on this Holi festival day, me and my friends done with the lunch and we headed back to class, we sit in our respective seats. And suddenly a girl from the backside started pouring colors as she bought it from her home and the splashing colors has fell on my face and the shirt. Then immediately I started running out of the classroom to trying to escape from the colors and friends.
Hmmm, I should have not done that but it happened, as I was running outside the class with colors on my face and the school uniform I was caught up by our PE teacher, Without any second thought that sir slapped on to my cheeks. Uffff that was a real jammer for my cheeks and teeth’s. As my teacher thought I was the one bought colors to the classroom and started doing this bizarre activities in the class hours. Without waiting for any moments I started apologizing for the mistake, this is how it happened in my first HOLI celebrations outside the home though I was not the victim to punish.

Though it’s a sad start in the school but it ended with a colourful note as and when I reached my home where I splashed with lot of colours and eggs. Yes, I must be remembered this for what it happened to me and finally it ended up with colourful cheers 🙂
