happy holi all

have gotten so used to sedate holis year after year in chennai..rarely do you get mauled by anyone carrying gulal unless you've allowed it willingly.
and in my mad dash to work this morning i forgot i wasnt in sedate ol' madras anymore..barely got out of the front door,freshly washed hair and white shirt of all things..(lack of reason and commonsense attributed to lack of sleep as usual)turned around to lock the door and splat!! water balloon hits me square between the shoulder blades.might have knocked me over if i wasnt leaning against the door anyway.(you see our door doesnt lock right unless you've pitched every ounce of weight in your body against it..mini-workout for the excercise-challenged) mercifully this one was plain water.went back up and changed again.got to work late-again..and spent every little break between appointments playing water holi with syringes nicked from the hospital.zooper fun i say:)!!
