holi celebrations @NIT RKL

It was a real nice and cool experience to celebrate holi after a big long gap of i dont know how many years , eventhough i have played holi during my younger days nd school days , i dint play much during my college days nd employed days , mainly because during the college days i was in kerala and there we dont celebrate holi nd during employed days i felt i was too old to have fun.

But in Rourkela I decided that I am no longer gonna study and gonna focus my full energy towards chill out in life ,

I remember a very few holi days which I have celebrated in my life , the oldest and the best memories r the one in which we celebrated during our stay @ H1BB (bachelors quarters @lakeside ) where everyone from both the buildings played in unison and then we prepared food outside and everyone had it outside in a very big group and gathering . I still remember the taste of the KHICHADI which was prepared and also the taste of the DAAL, both of which are at the highest level in my taste bud list


Chalo enough of history now back to mystory

the celebrations started at a slow pace , since the exams got over and there was a gap of 3 days most of them escaped from the hostel , 2 of my roomies escaped and only two of us were thr

I was wondering how to start nd was waiting for some one to come and break the ice and open the flood gates , but everything was calm till 9am , i was getting bored so I did a small video chat with two of my US friends and it was fun

then came the decisive period , my roomies zone mate came and all of them were calling people to come out of their rooms . I knew many in that gang and it was sure shot that i will b drenced in colors ,

I had to make a quick decision on which shirt I am gonna loose during this holi , nd suddenly my eyes got stuck to this half sleev banyaan whcih was lying and it was screaming to be dumped in the waste bin , so I just told him , dude its ur day today for freedome , I guess chicken and all the poultrys do feel the same , moments before they are sent to be butchered :).


so clad in the banyan and the chaddi my frnds poured the colors on me nd i guess someone cracked an egg or tomato on my head , since there was multiple colors on my head i dont know wheter it was rotten tomato or rotten egg . ny ways it holi time no one gives a damn .

then I went downstairs there people had prepared this bhang a mild intoxicating heath drink I must say bcoz of the amount of fruits and milk added in it and a small ting of some halucinating stuff .

I was actually warned by my parents not to have the bhang , but dont know why I have this doubting thomas ka gene in my body which always makes me say what if ? chalo the experince was not that bad as i thought it would be .


then we went around in every hostel and to friends room and friends of friends room to celebrate holi , it was great . then i met my classmates and they had a small ting of anger added in their way of applying colors on me but who cares its holi nd u dont give a damn to it


then the celebrations concluded in homibaba hall where we applied colors on Vishnu and we marked our exit . the best part of tht hall was that , there was this gang of maniacs who were busy in tearing the cloths of ppl nd making them walk as if they are just born out of their mother womb .


while returning back to the room , we saw each other and we all were looking like the characters from the movie AVATAR

At the end of the day no matter if ur rich or poor , north indian or south indian , young or old , ur all drenced up in different colors that no body will know who u r and the halucinating bhang adds the very much needed flavour to life

I just njoy holi , nd hope that i get good crowd around me all the time so as to celebrate it in a grand way
