The best things in life come when you haven't planned for it. The pleasure of unexpected happiness stays on with us for a long time. So, was the Holi of 2000!
We friends lived in a rented accomodation during our post grad days. We really didn't mean to do anything different except for sprinkling colours at each other so as to keep the tradition alive! But the idea struck when we went to the neighbouring shop to buy some more coloured powder. We visited some of our friends to wish them but ended up getting coloured from nose to toe. Soon, we decided to try the same on other friends and soon there was a multi-colored gang on the street.
We walked among the lose sand and the hot sun. The dirt and the heat didn't matter anymore. As we reached for other friends, there was no stopping. We played not only with the traditional colours but also with eggs, indigo and mud! The ultimate icing on the cake was when someone splashed an entire bucket full of water which resulted in a water splashing virus which was never ending. I even hit myself on the head and everything seemed to stop for a split second. But I didn't mind it and assured others that it was nothing and we continued as long as we could.
Come every Holi since then and I am taken to the Holi of 2000.

Graduations days are fun too. It is newly found independence that gets on to your mind for sometime...then u realize there are more important things you need to achieve.Nothing related to ur incidence but just a general feeling.
