Holi!

22 March 2008, Saturday

Holi in Manipal, especially in MIT, is like nowhere else. Considering the fact that there are no water taps anywhere outside on the roads...people played with all the water they could manage from buckets, plus it was raining a bit. Holi is wild here, with none of the guys spared from a "t-shirt ripping contest" as everyone vies to rip apart their t-shirts in the funniest manner imaginable (girls were spared the misfortune..we all know why!). People played with proper permanent colors and eggs and what not (girls were seen doing such stuff more than the guys!). In all, a very enjoyable holi. My shirt got ripped three times and the only pic in this post is the one which i clicked after coming back (yes, it was a shirt and is now a toga. It was the max I could do to cover myself up with the rags). In all, a fabulous, rocking holi! Holi in college and especially in hostels is something no one would like to miss!

P.S: The color didnt leave me for a week. Had to scrub myself twice daily. Plus I take no responsibility for anyone getting a heart attack on seeing my pic! ;-)
