Holi Hai


 




Amrapalli Gupta:


My best Holi partner:
I love to celebrate the festival with my younger sister Amita. I love the colours associated with the festival.

Best Holi:

It was when I was in the sixth standard. It is the best Holi so far as there were no restrictions. I played with all my friends in the society. We threw eggs at each other and smeared each other with paints. The whole group then savoured on home made sweets (gujhiya and papad).

High on Bhaang:
I had it in the year 1999 when I was staying with my parents in my hometown Lucknow. After my play got over, my friends and I decided to have Thandai (drink) from a stall that was run by an old lady. While on my way back home I felt that I was flying which was followed by me telling mythological tales. I told my friend that I was Rani Laxmi Bai and I will fight against the enemies. I also told him that I don't like his moustache and I will chop it off. Later I realised that the thandai was mixed with bhaang. The fun was when seeing me act weird my mother thought it to be a ghostly affair.

Silly point:
I feel that acting like Rani Laxmi Bai was a bit silly. The next day my mother and sister told me the tales of my bravery.

Any embarrassment:
I sure was a bit embarrassed. I feel one can enjoy a festival when he/she is conscious. Once you are intoxicated you become unaware of all your doings.



Enjoy!
