Kelly's Life
Hello again,
Holi in Bombay was really great. I planned to spend it with some couchsurfers but we had trouble getting in contact and we never met. Fortunately, so many people were celebrating just in the streets and they were quick to ask me to join them. Holi is the festival of colour which I was explained was to celebrate the harvest time and also a way of chasing away bad spirits to give a fresh new start. People seemed to celebrate it in different ways. Many people threw colour dyed water ballons others smeared the dye powder over eachother. Others cracked raw eggs over eachothers heads and many celebrated with beers, dancing and laughter.
It was a lot of fun and I was pleasantly surprised how welcoming people were in including me into their festival.
To finish off the day I went for a swim in the arabian sea with what seemed like millions of other people. The water isn't exactly clean but I'm hoping that a quick dip followed by a serious shower will prevent any harm.
Another uplifting Indian experience.
I've now just arrived in Jaipur, Rajasthan and am staying with another pleasant couchsurfer. I'm hoping to do some wwoofing at a near by farm but no dice yet.
Peace out,
Kelly
I'll try to put some fresh eye candy up soon!
