Holi is is a popular Hindu spring festival observed in India and Nepal. In West Bengal, it is known as Dolyatra (Doljatra) or Boshonto Utsav ("spring festival"). (Thank you Wikipedia!)
From what I understand, it is the traditional welcoming of Spring, wherein people get together and paint each other. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but for those who know me, any excuse to get messy and get other people messy in the process is just grand with me.
The Daily Herald covered it here: http://www.heraldextra.com/content/view/260752/17/.
Anyway, here are some pictures for y'all. It was FUN!

(Note: This is Erin to my right. It was her birthday. She invited me to the HOLI festival. I bought her a scone. On April 1st, I convinced her that her major hour requirement had been upped to 200 hours (from 120). Later that day, she sent blue and white balloons to my desk at the law school declaring "It's a BOY!" Pretty much, she's amazing.)Well, that might be the last post for a bit. Finals are coming...

I cannot believe you went to Holi! I went to Holi last year and loved it!
Sounds like life is fun - amongst the crazy law school life.
I love reading about it - especially the Erin addition.
I had never heard of the Holi festival until this year and suddenly, everyone I know went! Seriously, I have like 4 or 5 different groups of friends that went! (I am old and boring, I guess...)

have you seen the movie "partition"? it has a great scene of this happening in india. it's not a feel-good movie though. but it was very interesting and i really liked it.
