Holi _ The festival of colors
Today is the day of Holi - the festival of colours. The day when people throw colours ( gulal ) and water at each others. Last time i played holli was probably in my tenth standard, exams( preperatory) were going on so i played only for a couple of hours before my mom chased me to my room;-). Even in the school, everybody would be waiting for the final bell to ring, to throw holi colors at each other, a few of us used to rush to the house to avoid getting drenched in colored waters. Those days were fun. Today after 8 years i got to play it again, thanks to Anant. Today was one of the unusally calm days in the office( main reason being absense of Anant :-p ) utill lunch , but soon after lunch at around 2 Ananth comes to the office, fully colored, with a couple of packets of gulal powder, and the fun started. Initially all were reluctant to come out and play with colours, but after a few mins of trying to come up with excuses everybody joined outside the office and started putting colours on each others. After a few mins even those who did not want to get colored could not resist and joined us. We had a hell of a time, by the end of it we were all colored beyound recognition.

In that thread, no one admitted that they are scared of me. But even if it is true, its only grown up people who might be scared of me.. Children are not scared of me.. :)
Those children where staring at you and their expressions indicated that they were scared too.. ;)

Cool, raji, nice to see you have fun in college, we never did that - mostly because we never went to college which is a different issue;-). I usually post only my photos on that day i had given shubha the camera so these were taken by my colleague Chandrahasa, so they are on his flikr.
