Rang Lo !

It’s Holi – the festival of colours ! As every festival day approaches, my mind begins tracing events and memories from the past. I start hunting for photographs, to recount stories and experiences from the past.

Over the years, my relationship with Holi has been changing –  As a kid, playing Holi with  family and throwing water balloons on strangers , to then celebrating Holi with friends as a teenager, to now restricting Holi celebrations by not playing with inorganic colours and water.

I discovered a new Holi song on Youtube today by Shankar Tucker called Rang Lo ! I love the Holi sequence in it – the play of colours on screen looks vibrant and the effect is infectious –

This year, I’m away from all kinds of Holi celebrations, yet, I feel connected. Happy Holi ! Spread love and colour
