This holi, was
my first holi after marriage.
According to our family tradition, this year’s holi celebration was to be at
our home. For this, we call all the near and dear ones at our home for lunch.
holi is the only festival which I don’t like because,
people put dark colours on the face and it takes at least two days to remove
the colour.
Because it was my first holi, I had no option other than calling all the cousins to
celebrate holi at my place. My wife was very excited to celebrate our first holi
as it’s is her favourite festival. We decided to order the food from a restaurant
rather than making at home. It takes a very long time to prepare everything at home
and it becomes very hectic for everyone.
We all planned to celebrate Holi at the terrace. I arranged the music system, to make the environment peppy while playing holi. We kept 12 PM as the time to play holi
and after that lunch. My cousins, came on time with very dark colours and I was
the first target. After me, they coloured my wife’s face.
My aunt prepared bhaang
for all of us. After playing holi we all
played cards. I lost 400 rupees in cards and my wife won 200 rupees, a loss of
200 rupees for me. After that, we had bhaang
and lost control over our mind. Some were laughing and some were crying. We all
danced a lot on some peppy songs, my friend clicked the pictures and took all
the videos.
After, a peppy holi
celebration we all went for the lunch, from terrace to the dining area. I
ordered the food from a restaurant near my house. Everyone, drank so much bhaang that they were not in their
senses. An uncle of mine, took chapatti for him and kept it in my plate. My brother
was pouring water outside the glass. After the lunch, everybody planned to stay
at my place because no one could drive because of the bhaang we had. We opened the guest room and in the lobby area, we
kept mattresses so that everyone could easily sleep. We all slept at around 4
PM and woke up at 10 PM. No one hungry because the lunch we had was very heavy.
We all started to play cards again, to pass time. No one slept in the night and
all of them left my place at 7 AM in the morning. I asked my cousins to stay
for breakfast, but all of them had a busy schedule.
First time in my life, I enjoyed the holi festival so
much. Next year, we have holi celebrations at my mother’s sister place.
