Sacrifices

Holi... one of my favourite festival. The colours, water, friends, puran poli and everything about it is just so awesome. I remember as a kid every year 1 de prior to dulivandan all of us from the colony used to meet up to light the holi and post that have a serious discussion about who is getting how many packets of colors and how many balloon and so on. Sleep used to go for a toss with the next day's anticipation. The next day mom would oil our hair and face and off we would go to play. Red, blue, green, orange, yellow and most importantly the bright pink would be all over our faces and the roads. Going to all the neighbours and wishing them. Some good people used to wish us by throwing a bucket o two of water from their flats. After playing we would come home and then the most difficult task of getting those colors off our faces. I would try my level best followed by mom to get me into a presentable state. Following which is my most loved part. Sitting on the kitchen counter and seein mom make puran polis and being the privileged 1 to have the 1st puran poli. I miss those days so much.
Holi later on was all bout colors, friends, booze and rain dance and dj etc but still fun. This was one festival I would never miss for nething in this world. However for the last two years I haven't been able to play holi.
Last year I couldn't play bcoz I needed a break from my stressed out MA schedule. I took off to pune for my sister's engagement shopping. This year however I m in Chennai and forced to come here for my wedding shopping. I feel so pathetic that I cant celebrate holi nd all my odr frnds including my reserved bf r all in goa having fun and playing holi. Its true with age priorities change and u learn to shoulder new responsibilities. Though my priority is still holi nd playing with frnds, my responsibility forces me to come here away from friends and sit in a saree shop and choose sarees for my relatives. hopefully next year I will play holi provided m not away for studies or work.
