Rang Barse.... Happy Holi !!

I’m looking around – I see black and white,
Something’s amiss, something’s not right quite…
Far away in my sight,
There is a gang, a mob beneath a light!

Its dark around except for the distance,
No one to ask around for assistance…
I walk, I trot, I jog, I run,
Get out of the dark, I need some sun !

Alas, I get into the famous square,
Ah – the joy, with whom should I share…
Suddenly I feel soaked and wet,
Silence broken – people I met!

Powdery colors in the sky,
Almost all which can meet the eye…
well they thought that I was the bait,
Hello… I too got colors on my plate…

Air, colors, water, dust…
Eggs and mud – for some those are a must!
This is the day – friends don’t trust…
they’ll make you drown in colors to rust!

Bhaang and raang are the desi terms,
wash ur hands – keep out the germs!
Stains are gonna last a bit …
That’s what we call – the “holi spirit”!!

Splash and dash, enjoy the beat, drink - don’t drive …. Happy Holi … !!
