Happy holi ......... :)

[NaNaNaaaaa]

Thanks ..... you get it right ....... in this festival we plays with colours and it represents love and friendship ...... but it has many other meanings too ..... and here it means a lot to us in INDIA

Coming of spring and starting of new year calender in some regions of India. There are some colourful story of an Avatara of Vishnu, Narasinha, and him killing a demon surrounding it too but the festival itself is rather secular by nature so it managed to appeal many beyond those regions and communities.

Last day of the year leaves with a large bon fire and the next morning people meet each other to greet them and share various special snacks and dishes along with playing with colours and all. The chance to show lot of colour and heroine in wet cloth made it a popular theme for Bollywood moives too - partial reason of wider popularity.

Also a day for pulling pranks on others or being a goofball oneself- there used to be competition where people competed for "Idiot of the day" award. lol Though that tradition is dying because TV and internet stole that kind of free time.

Now that I think about it Corgi is kind of playing Holi already.

It sounds wonderful, I wish I could go! Please enjoy yourselves extra for me!

That's not holi. That's called Bagwal or something like that and played only in one certain village on another occasion and is probably a re enactment of some old fight there.

Holi of Barasana is a different Story though.

I'm glad you guys are having Spring. We're buried in snow :'(

No snow for me but it's not spring here either. It's still cold.. I will be using dry colours only, not water. >_> At least I hope so. lol
