Well Holi this year was much crazier than last year; no doubt because this year Holi fell on a Monday and last year it was on a Wednesday. On Sunday (the day before) I got thwacked with a water balloon; it hurt like crazy and I’m amazed I don’t have a bruise. I was in an auto rickshaw and saw something out of the corner of my eye…it was some kids pointing at me and then one of them threw (like a baseball pitcher pitches) a balloon at me at top speed. Luckily I was able to crouch a bit so it only got me on my leg. And today there is dried paint all over the place on the sidewalks. I did go out for a bit yesterday; just a quick walk; but only got sprayed with water guns, no color; I think that was just luck because just a few minutes later I heard a bunch of kids running down the street. A very odd holiday. Everyone complains about it before the day saying how annoying it is but then they all celebrate. Oh well, it is over and so my last week in India started with a bang (so to speak).
Nothing much to blog about today. Tomorrow I’m off to the bank to close down my bank account…hard to figure exactly how many rupees I’ll need before I leave but I’m trying. Just enough to eat my meals but not too much so I can’t buy anything else…no more room in my luggage.
