Happy (much belated) Holi!

I just realized that I never posted anything about our Holi celebrations this year. This was the fourth year that I've been in India for the festival, but the first one that I've actually done anything to celebrate. Either work, a visit to the US or simple laziness got in the way.

So this year we decided that we'd participate in the festivities. Our first stop was a family-friendly party at the Defence Colony (where we live) Club. We were joined there by most of the neighbor and people of all ages enjoyed the food, the music and, of course, the colors!


Those festivities wrapped up around 2pm and we made our way to the party of a local socialite who hosts an annual Holi bash that is widely covered on Page 3. It was definitely an awesome party and now I understand why Ani tried to convince he to go every year. There was amazing food (veg only), free-flowing drinks (until they ran out), great music and a rain tent.

I've included a few more photos from the day below and you'll notice how we got messier and messier as the day progressed.



And on a completely unrelated note, the was what the sky looked light when we walked out of the first party. Amazing...
