Celebrated Holi yesterday and it was pure madness… random people coming upto you and rubbing colour on your cheeks was a little disconcerting at first, but after a few minutes you get the hang of it and it’s crazy fun after that. I’ve always wanted to be part of the colourful Holi celebrations, like the …
