"Holi"day
Today was my first real celebration of Holi. [info]anantj came to office after lunch covered with myriad shades of pink and purple from head to toe. He had two bags of gulal in his hands. After much coaxing which soon turned to threats, all of us stepped gingerly outside the office but soon loosened up and had a wonderful time smearing each other with the colors.



Happy Holi!

Yup, I really had a very nice time. I never had 'northie' friends with whom I celebrated before and would feel jealous to look at people enjoying so much. Am glad Anant forced us to play today.

And I'm glad I came :)
I was almost not going to come but then thought that next holi is too far away :D

Glad everyone enjoyed it (Except Pramod that is. He did not have a reaction at all :P)

Naw.. It's not just wonder-at-pramod but also I marvel at him. He is out of this world, literally ;)

Me too had my first ever celebration of Holi. Glad to know you had a fun time too!

They literally raped me. Removed my T-Shirt, poured colour all over me, threw me onto the floor, mopped the floor using my body. *phew* :)

Oh you people had office today? Out here in Bombay, all offices were closed.
But seeing the colours in your photo, I don't think much work got done today at your office, isn't it?
U sure seemed to have had a great time! Wonderful!

Nope, we didn't take a holiday. Yeah it was difficult to get work done after that though we dusted it off and washed our faces and all, so we kinda left office early

Pramod's damn clever. He knew we wouldn't let him off easy if he resisted. So he came, let us put a little holi on his face (never bothered to put some back on us) and went back in and continued to work. So he wasn't there when we took the snaps :))
