Happy holi!

Here in India one finds oneself in the middle of Holi, the Festival of Colours, a three day spring festival celebrated nationwide, a most exuberant and joyful time.

It's all about having fun and "letting one's hair down", this is the most commonly used phrase I have heard.

India is already colourful enough, yet during Holi the brightest possible pigment powders are thrown enthusiastically at passers by in the streets and people gather to sing, dance and generally have a good time.

Elephant processions and feasting are all part of the fun. Holi hai!
