Bhang ka rang jama ho chaka chak,
Phir lo paan chabaye
Are aisa jhatka
Lage he jiya ko
Punar janam hoye jaaye
I now know what Amitabh meant in that inconic son from Don. I had my first real Bhang this morning. It took a couple of hours to take hold. Extreme drowsiness, giggling fits, slowdown of senses, relaxed limbs.
But that wasn't what Holi was all about for us this year. After almost 6 years I was lucky enough to be in India for Holi. And it was Squiggles' first Holi. We caught up with my family who are on any sane day a boisterous lot, but decidedly worse on Holi. An open house for friends was hosted by my aunt and the result was some good wholesome fun like I haven't had in a long while.
Happy Holi! I hope you had a good one too. Here's a picture of Squiggles from the day, with a yummy gujiya in her hand.

Happy Holi !! Bhaaang ..I am still to taste that. Squiggles look cute with colours :)
Aren't the colors harmful? I would always break out every time somebody applied holi colors on my face.

Had been meaning to comment for a long time now. Inertia + blogger swallowed my comments a couple of times(Blogger sometimes gets annoyingly adament abt letting me comment thru my wordpress identity) :)
Thanks everyone.
Timepass - No, she held on to it for dear life!
Amara - We used herbal gulal and it was actually very good. No rashes, no itching. And it came off pretty fast too.
Mama - mia - Next time you know where to come!
utbtkids - I know inertia :)). I'm the same. Never manage to leave a comment half the time.
