It has been an awesome Holi this year... Holi in London!!!

We had a small scale celebration in the student housing, you know, just a few friends sort of thing. It was huuuge fun :). Some of our friends got up early and went to east London( the desi area basically) to get Gulaal. We were all to assemble in the Common Room and then start lol. One guy had even made water balloons and brought a large water bottle to stand in for a Pichkari !!!!! It was really really really niceeee!!!! Had lots of fun today, throwing gulaal and water and balloons and just running about lol ;).

Oh and did I mention, the moving in thing with my friends, that has fallen right through. Some misunderstandings and ego problems,issues like that. Incidentally I did face some problem with residential people with regard to that since they had already found me a replacement and then they had to find her a place as well etc etc etc... Well, All is well that ends well... So I am back in my room, well, atleast till the end of April when our contract ends.

Well, ya that's all. I need to read 6 papers for a discussion with my project guide tomorrow!!!! :( I am a lazy lazy creature who has been neglecting her work!!! LOL, so what else is new???!!!

buttercup said...

Well, they do in some places, where there are more desis,like Wembley,Southall etc. We got gulaal and all from such an area called Upton Park. As far as our celebration is concerned, it was just us Indians and pakistanis who are staying together and who wanted to have FUN for holi,like back at home :D
