Holi hai....

Well had Holika Dehen today...n Vishal n Uday were running the whole day trying to arrange wood n kerosene n sweets etc...

Time of burning the fire- 7 PM

6:30 PM : It starts raining all of a sudden..n suddenly it looks as if the hard work has been spoilt...

7:05 PM : Suddenly the power goes off ( nt too unusual in our campus...)

7:10 PM : Me n Abhay take the colours( from the 5 kg bags( taking the colour out without lights n any knife or blade required another Engineering skill-we used a pen to tear a hole in the bag ;) ) )and finally managed to extract enough colour to be used as tikka ( bt believe me, we used it for everything except the tikka) and matches to light the fire...
btw its still raining...

7:24 PM : We decide to light the fire, some 12 of us in the open...all ready to make the fire burn against all odds...

7:28 PM : We try to light the fire...n IT starts burning on the first try ( sweet success... :) )

7: 35 PM : The crowd starts arriving, most of them not quite ready to come out in the rain( it was still drizzling...) bt we had enough crowd to start with tikka n Holi....sang songs too...

9: 00 PM : After enjoying Holi, the rain and the warm fire....its time to take a bath....

waise the starting has been good..Lets hope the colour fight tomm rocks too... ;)

anyways Here's wishing u a Happy and Safe colorful Holi....
