HOLI

Every Complex is busy making bonfires.  They'll  be lit tonight - it's Holi, the colour festival tomorrow - the beginning of spring and the end of winter.  So it's celebration time again !  Good way to get rid of all the old kites from the last festival - they are being tied into the bonfire stack and everyone is filling balloons with colour in preparation for tomorrow.  The sedate Dr Prasad warned me - "don't go out tomorrow or you'll be pelted".  Others have warned that the colour stays on the skin for weeks and in your hair for months !
