Holi!

Another spring has knocked our door, and spring means, Holi: The Festival of Colours! I'm super-excited!
For those, who're not Indians, let me get you all accustomed to the festival....
Holi is the day when the whole country (India) rejoices and celebrates while throwing colours and water on their friends and relatives, everyone's delighted, yeah! Sometimes, this can be very rowdy too, so be prepared!
Tough guy, isn't he?! This is how we play Holi!
Now, every single festival has one thing in common, guess...its food! Yep, we eat a mouth-watering cuisine on Holi, like: gujias, papads and other tasty sancks. I'm pretty sure that a carnival of Holi is organized in every society! People gather around, chatter, play with the colours, spray waters on others with their pichkarees (sort of a water gun)! Interesting, huh? But, be careful, wear, old clothes, so that you don't dirty the new ones! And second, don't drink too much bhaang (sort of an alcohol). If you are under the influence of it, DON'T play, Holi, you may thro mud instead of colours, you never know! Yes, thandai (milk) is rather a good and healthy option! It is cool and tasty! So guys, take out your wallets and buy water balloons and pichkarees!
And above all, forget the difference between the poor and the rich! This is the symbol of Holi!
After all,
बुरा ना मानो, होली है!
The Daily Delight wishes you all Indians and NRI's, a very happy Holi!
