Feb 28, some of my friends in SRM celebrated holi. Plans were made and I forgot to buy holi powder! I messaged Vignesh at 9:30 in the night of the previous day and asked him to buy some! He obliged and brought 3 packets. Each packet had 12 colors and so, 36 color packets, we thought, were enough.
Next day(feb 28th) Vignesh and me caught a EMU train bound to Tambaram and we had also asked Manisha to join us in Tambaram. She joined us. Vignesh didnt like her in specs and always kept asking her to remove them!
. After waiting for about 20 minutes, we got into the train bound for Chengalput, and the journey was a bit boring. I sent a message to her saying, ” we miss you model” from one compartment to another
hehe…After getting down at Potheiri, she was searching for us(remember we boarded in different compartments
) and i met Vishnuvardhan, a fellow gamer and classmate who is just obsessed with playing FIFA). He left and the three of us left the station and got into a bus to go to college.(It takes about 10 minutes for me to go from the station to college…15 for others). Some friends were already gathered in the canteen. Vinekavithy, Indhu, Bala, Vinod, Vinod, Viral were already there. After than Vineeth and Vysak too came and in some time, few gangs of girls and boys passed us, having very colorful faces! Bala was keen on not getting any color in himself. We started playing and Viral was the first to apply color onto Vignesh’s hair(which he never wanted). He thought that he was smart and he wore a t shirt on his shirt and said that after playing holi, i’ll just remove the tee and go home clean dressed with the shirt. How can i let this happen??? i did the honor of applying holi powder on his shirt sleeve
. Everyone applied color on everyone.
Vineeth (another vineeth)later joined. And boy oh boy was everyone ever so happy when we all saw Vivitha coming. Everyone ran towards her(including me) and applied the powder on her…lol. Everyone exhausted their color packets, or so they thought for Vignesh and me already took 4 packets in Tambaram itself and moreover, of the 3 packets allotted to each person, i Had only used one!
(smart me)…I started applying again. Then, again, after everyone thought that there were no more to play with, Viral went and poured water! Then, water fight began!After that, we went near the canteen and washed ourselves. (I had forgotten that I still had one more packet
. Bala came and joined us. He was missing from the entire action and came spotless. We applied blue color and yellow on him. (Then what happened?) Yeah…I went and washed my face again only to get colorful again!
. While the 12 of us were sitting, hostel boys, about a battalion, came, not near us though, and applied color on oncoming bus and had stopped the bus, went inside, threw the powder, applied some on the driver, threw eggs(ugh!)on the bus. Then, they did the same thing on another bus but seems someone threw the egg with such a force that it broke the front mirror of the bus. One instant, everyone were playing and the next instant, everyone ran off!
We too left the place and moved inside the canteen(being cautious…hehe). Vysak was very hungry. We went to a hotel and ordered lots of butter naan and noodles and side dish(es). After that, we again ordered the same thing, ate more and came back to the same “kutti sevuru” where we usually sit. We had taken quite a lot of snaps. Oh yeah, before that, after we ate and came out of the hotel, obviously after paying 1k, Vysak and Vinod started proposing to Vivitha, for fun only. That was sooo funny!
…Everyone enjoyed that day so much! And we went our own ways after talking for some time.
Next day, which was holi again, and i wore an old tee to college for i knew people will play! And i was right! They did! They even put holi water on my hair!
I got so angry and shouted at them! People who played holi AND got the corridor and classrooms were asked to clean it themselves by Dean! HAHAHA..serves them well!
Oh well, came home and took bath again! Got all the color off me. Enjoyed Feb 28 a lot! Three cheers to Viral for suggesting to celebrate Holi…hip hip hurray…hip hip hurray…HIP HIP HURRAY!
Vignesh and me, upon my idea of getting our first ever holi t shirt signed, brought them to college and got it signed from the other 11 of us(of which 2 or 3 are yet to sign). Next year too, we will celebrate holi but definitely not inside the college campus!
And until the next post,
