Holi, the Indian festival of colour which I have been anticipating so eagerly since seeing it in “Outsourced” (the movie which “prepared” me for India) has been and gone.
What more can I say about it than to show some of the photos from the day.
Unfortunately one photo that is missing is the one where my face is coloured in as an Indian flag – it was ruined before I had a chance to take a picture.
Holi, the Indian festival of colour and change is upon us.
I have been eagerly awaiting Holi since I first saw it in Outsourced (2006) – the movie which prepared me for my stay in India. It only covered a small percentage of the differences, but otherwise I haven’t had too many surprises so far.
In preparation, I went and got Rs 100 worth of coloured powders and water colour to give me an arsenal for the celebrations. And water balloons. 100 of them.
Here is what I got:

I shall report back after I’m drenched and colourful – I noticed some of the kids in my area started already. Better go start filling those balloons.
