This is one festival I dont miss .. ( I moved to the US three years ago) oh there are some aspects of it that I did enjoy like eating hot jaleebis in celebration of Holi..though getting all that color off was nightmarish.. It used to take ages especially the magenta powder..no amount of scrubbing would help. As result I used to go to work with clownish pink ears and nails the next day.
