| Am playing with colours on paper! |
I am all nostalgic.
I need…
A ground full of people I love.
A tap with cold running water.
A record playing rang
barse.
A plate full of crispy-moist gujiyas.
A dozen buckets hidden at many many spots.
A handful balloons.
A plate holding gulal.
A bag with a variety of pukka
rang.
I need colour. I am missing rummaging my cupboard for a pair
of old denims and tee. I am missing the
shrieking and screaming that used to fill up the air as early as eight am on
Holi. I am missing oiling my hair and hands & legs before leaving home. I
am missing eating gujiyas to my tummy
and heart’s content. I am missing running fast, faster, fastest…to save myself
from insane friends. I am missing biting into bhang pakodas and then giggling incessantly. I am missing feeling
too tired to take a shower. I am missing spending hours getting the colour off
me. I am missing sleeping for hours to refresh. I am missing waking up in the
evening, and still feeling tired. I am missing attending work the next day and
smiling at colleagues with red & pink faces.
I am missing home.
And since I can’t really go out and play with colours I am playing with colours on paper. There's no point sulking! Right?
I’d say you bring in
a pop of colour to this day too – gorge on colourful candies, adorn the home with
a colourful posy, dress up the Govinda way & more! What say?
P.S: If one more person asks me to celebrate Holi on a
Friday at some Holi Bash I will bash him/her up :)
