I live in a building where all of us celebrate every festival with a lot of enthusiasm. That is where my love for festivals comes from. I feel these are occasions when people come together, share laughter, and not to forget, foooood! Not that I am very social. I am not someone who would go out and meet new people. But these are people I’ve known since I was a kid...the people I’ve grown up with and its always special when all of us get together.

We played with colours today and it was fun! I looked like some multi-coloured parrot. I don’t understand the hype about natural colours. I’ve played with artificial ones all my life and nothing has ever happened to me. Okay, yes, gulaal is irritating. But I don’t have a problem with the rest.

 However, one thing that irritates me a lot is water wastage. Dhulivandan can be played with colours, mud, ash, or whatever. There is no need to waste gallons of water for it. Not only on this day, but even otherwise. If only people could realize its importance. *Sigh*.

P.S.: House under renovation from tomorrow. So I may not be regular here. The house will be in a mess, my computer will be in a veil. And there’ll be lots of saaf-safai to do. Wish me luck!
