HOLI!!!!

Holi… one of the coolest things that we’ve done here. Holi is the Festival of Colors, and it is basically celebrated by throwing colored powder at each other. On Holi, when one throws powder at another, all walls come down, and for the entire day you are equals—it doesn’t matter if the person is your servant or your master, on Holi you are both just people. Besides having a really cool principle behind it, this holiday is SOOOOO FREAKIN FUN TO CELEBRATE!! The SIP students took on our kitchen staff in an all out “Holi War” (get the pun, haha) and needless to say those little Indian men were sneaky! The first picture is one of us putting baby oil on ourselves pre-Holi, because then supposedly the Holi powder would come off easier. The other ones are in different stages of Holi fun, and you can see the powder and water being thrown at everyone. The last one is us at the end of the day—we were so colorful, kind of looked like rainbow blobs! Holi is by far one of the coolest things that we’ve done here the entire semester, love it :)
