Festivities of Color

42 Comments

Today I feel as if the evenfall has arrived on the earth,
the hues of turquoise, crimson, cerise and cerulean
draping the smiling visages,

There is chirpiness,
enchanting happiness,
a blithe that shrouded the world,
and even in the chaos and the hullabaloo,
the clamor oozes a calmness
through those colorful eyes,

The mischievousness of some rogue kids
while drenching the passerby,
embracing a loved one with blithe,
the respect for the elders
by applying that small colored dot on the forehead,
all screamed in unison
the festivities of togetherness,
the gaiety of love,
wishing everyone a very happy Holi

  12. I will do it next year. Seriously I have colleagues who have already invited me. I am all set for next year.
    I’ve always loved to magic of other traditions and cultures 🌸

  32. Khubsurat rachna…..Happy Holi.
    Rang to ek bahaanaa hai ……hamen to dushmanon ko bhi aaj gale lagaanaa hai……..

    waise hindu calendar ke hisab se ye warsh kaa antim samay chal raha hai …….jiski vidaayee ho rahi hai……
