As usual the start was simple- with people being drenched with buckets of water, being pelted with balloons and smeared with abeer and gulaal. Then obviously the entire gang (read 30 ppl) started targeting one person at a time and he/she would be thrown to the ground and basically left in such a beggarly state that even their parents wouldn't recognise them :D
The best part was the expression on R's face when A smeared her with what we call "keechadd" (and not just once- every time she got a little cleaned up, he would come from behind and smear that horrible muck on her) :D It's not gross if it's not being put on you and you can stand and laugh at someone else's plight :D
Well after a while, people got hungry and gorged on the amazing food (paani puri was awesome!)... but but but... the second round of playing got worse! Soon people were pelting food on each other (that was my cue to disappear quietly :D)
But all in all- the festival was celebrated in its true spirit- with elders and youngsters joining with equal gusto... and the kids were amazing.... they just couldn't get enough of the fun :)

It would have been better to go by the advise of Divya Bhaskar Daily and enjoy holi in a decent way.Try it next year.
@Vijay- ????What??
If you don't like the festival- that's your problem. What is your problem with people having fun amongst themselves? As long as I am not harassing strangers on the road, I think I'm being pretty decent!
