Many a times we end up doing stuff , ignorant of the ramifications of our actions..
One tiny example of that is celebrating holi..
For a southie like me , who most always ran away from colors of holi ,be it in the neighbourhood or college , verbally slaughtered by my north indian friends as 'murdering the spirit of holi' ,any opportunity to look at an ocean of brown faces in a foreign counrty is more than enticing..
and so i went 2 be a part of the gang which managed to find an "indi dukan" in the middle of nowhere and armed with colors that would put a rainbow to shame , we launched the celebration.
Nothing gives you more a pleasure to destroy the tidy corridors and muddle the pool into a heavenly mixture .. well. nothing , probably more than trying out wild designs on people you dont even know , venting your vendatta on "any" available clean face :).
Grab the opportunity .!! well.. all done ....... serenity demolished , assignments ,exams and due papers long forgotten , out come brown people in all sizes and shapes with a dab of blue,green and what not. Some one even went to the extent of getting out chilli powder!!
dude!! hold on!! hell no .. i like holi but i dont wanna be crippled for life.......
and so it went............ for an hour,two , prob 5..
When the noise became too much,and people looked at us appalled ,prob wondering whether the natives have decided to launch their attack ...... and someone s meek warning that cops mite sniff us out.. thats when the fun stopped... well. temporarily atleast..
Do we need a reason to celebrate .. !!
