Jolie, Molly, Tolly, bura na mano aagayi Holi.
The festival of colors which brings along unity and happiness. Been a huge fan of this fest, colors and sweets are the ones I have been waiting for 365 days. One such festival where all age group tend to behave childish, kiddish and out of there senses. This years Holi was not such a hit as I was slogging in office but I made that little time out on sunday to play colorful with my son. Until you have a kid at home, you will never realize the fun of holi when you take responsibility of making sweets for kids, playing with them, and encouraging the little ones to take a step further and hit the others with Balloons filled with colorful water. I know, the chemicals in holi colors are harmful but still this one day we can take chance ;)
Journey Begins ----------->
The fine memory of my childhood where I have seen parents playing holi with friends. Men throwing water, mud, colors over Ladies, throwing them in pool of water and when they are done, its ladies turn to make korda out of there dupatt's and then start hitting Men for the mischief. It was fun watching the play every holi, and feels bad when your dad gets a hit from any lady in group.But, as they say --> Bura na mano holi hai :) I remember playing holi with my childhood friend -> Dimpi (Sumita sharma) where we both will sit under handpump, turn wise, we will shed water on each other. As I grew, I started developing allergy with the chemicals and with instructions from Dad, was not allowed to play Holi. But, the day I entered College, there was this big change, he never stopped me and in those 4 years of my Engineering, I have played to my best. Every Holi, my college friends will visit my house, we played holi on roof-top, danced to our best and had Holi sweets and North indian Lunch. Gosh, I just can't forget the fun. And when I got married, I had gala time with my Dewars Adi and Ashu on my First holi after Marriage :) And this years(2014) holi, was fun playing with lucky. For the first time, I prepared Sweets on my own and want to share the recipe with who so ever is interested.
