Holi - The Festival of Colours, was this Saturday. Basically people go about throwing colored powder or paint on each other. It gives this less then mundane little town even more of a festive vibe then it normally has. Anand (a coworker) was going to take me to the beach, where so much color is thrown that it turns the ocean water colors. But he got sick so I had to be content with walking around my neighborhood. I am told that in comparison to North India the Holi celebrations are quite tame.
Feeling a little green?
Neighborhood boys playing Holi.
See the empty bag of green powder and the green hands.
I think we found the culprits.

Happy Holi
Water fight...except with paint! Whats not to love!
The powdered dye come out of clothes and off of skin relatively easily,
but the liquid form is another matter.
This post is dedicated to Sarah T. Ask her how she used to (and maybe still does) describe brilliant colors.

Thanks for the postings, Dan. Glad to know you are mixing some good work in there with the good (though unusual) play. May the next search for water be more fruitful.
