Today .. Holiday .. Holi-day !!

I don't know how would the words that would follow appeal to you, I mean i might sound like a dissociative, anti , irksome character who finds interest in doing nothing at times, and actually I am at times one such being.
As for one good sake if I talk about today, the Holi day, I really dont find interest in celebrating it and I really dont remember any huge celebrations in past as well. There has not been a very particular idea about being so, other than that such artificial colors really cause itching which is quite obvious to happen when the colors for celebration do contain , not just some, rather many toxicants, lead based substances that might cause asthma, dermatitis ,temporary blindness ..
I am not an antagonist to celebrations. I really believe in celebrating life and I am actually not this boring everytime.
But I dont know if I have gone aware of all this with age only or before age. I dont know. I just know some facts which I want to believe in that colors used in Holi these days are toxic, amount of water consumed on Holi can serve up many more sad days of the nation, wood used for Holika dahan amounts to huge deforestation in the country.
People from very old days used Tesu flowers for celebrations, there were large forested lands, some real fresh springs around, they were actually far from time of destruction and we are arriving closer to it.
My idea of saying all this is not to do any act of enforcement.I want to conserve nature and I really believe that one has to contribute his part. or I probably just love to be this boring ..

Apologies to anyone who's visited to see a comment!

This is just a desperate attempt to give my best wishes to a darling friend, a strong/sweet daughter and caring/loving sister who has juggled these roles as effortlessly and tirelessly as she goes about in her tireless passion for drums (...& singing).

Now and then the capricious life forces her to stand on the cross roads, where she has been forced to make choices, both personal and professional.

To me her B'day is as special as mine or may be more coz she is probably the only person (... I know) who has given more to me and this world than taken from it.

Nidhi,

Your motivation is infectious

Your love is contagious and there is no mistaking the emotions in your voice when you catch me playing around with your love towards drums or live concerts.

I often have a tough time nominating the best word that you conceived so far (rotlade is my favorite.... mostly for the explanation around it).

I might rebuke you for:

>>> Differential Deafness

>>> Baby steps

>>> Use of some typical words that don’t suit girls

>>> ... And a few secrets (can’t disclose on the blog)

But without you I would crack up.

Thanks for being (around). There's a lot more to say but I must reach your house before 12:00 AM to wish you personally, so I wind up the innings with all my best wishes.

With lots of pyar and dular,
not just routine shishtachar.

Vaibhav
