Holi Festival

Happy Holi everyone! It is Holi festival starting today. Today is small Holi, tomorrow is Big Holi. In other words... get ready to get totally plastered with colour. The streets are not safe. Already there are 4 foot tall terrorists roaming the streets. Rounding a corner unsuspecting you are very likely to fall into the line of fire and find yourself soaked, unexpectedly, with either water, or coloured water or dry colour dust. Ya. Party on. haha. and fireworks, don't forget the fireworks. Water balloons are big. Water balloons filled with water, or coloured water. Already the kids are getting ready. Manu, the little one, accidentally nailed a passerby today, a Western tourist. She and I were sitting on the steps in the front entry way while i was shelling peas. She was joking around with me like she was gonna break a water balloon on my leg. It was just a small one but i was still giving her a dirty look as a stern warning. So instead she decides to just randomly and blindly toss it over her shoulder, over the gate and into the street and there just happened to be a man passing at that exact moment, pushing a baby carriage no less. it totally nailed him. Surprised him, me and Manu so i shouted "Sorry! it was an accident. are you ok?" To which he yelled back over his shoulder, "um, ya, just a little wet". oops. like i told you, no one is safe on Holi. If you are in the street, you are fair game. So tomorrow during "big Holi" i am going to stay home and watch movies.
