Holy Holi

Here's the festival of colours. Though we had two holidays to begin with, I still have no clue what we had the holiday on tuesday for, all we did was sleep through it. So we're making plans for the last holi in college. We sure want to drink bhang this time and feel that euphoria. Its already been three years since we've been drinking thandai and this time we want the real stuff. So off we go on tuesday night from the back gate of the coll into the small shopping complex, our localite Barua Bhaiyya conversing in Assamese asking for bhang. The deal is struck, 25 packets for 300 bucks. a small hint for the rest and about 50 glasses for those who dare.
The D day, well for starters i woke up surprisingly early, shaved, had breakfast followed by a quick oil application session. Then comes the bummer, everybody else is sleeping in the lobby. Slowly they wake up and get ready with the oil and cream and stuff. Watch out world, here we come !! There's the pit we had dug up the day before and how pretty it looks so full of water and mud. One down, two down, three down and slowly one by one we all go down. What now, this dude gets the craziest of ideas and goes and stands inside a shower to get a bit cleaned up, we throw him back again. This time we just washes his face, we throw him again. But who learns easy here, this dude has to be thrown six times before he finally learns that washing is futile. Then comes the matki, hung out at second floor hieght. First layer all strong first yearites, second layer, all fourth yearites and the third layer the lightest guys in hostel. There just a swing of hands and its broke...hey wait, its just been pulled up to the third floor level !!!!!! Right, so now the base flutters and we all fall down. Another attempt, this time we have almost made it when we discover our man building is just a metre away from the matki so our man cannot reach there.........phew another fall and some guys are injured and tired now. The water which our grateful juniors have been throwing has begun to take effect and we're almost out. One final try first years bottom, fourth years next layer and lightest man on top, alas the weight is so much that we buckle once again but just while falling we throw a stone and break the matki, voila, that was it. hehehe surprisingly no serious injury to anybody. then back again to the pit for some relaxing and mud pack application, we're conscious of our skin u see :P neways then we get the REAl thing of bhang and surprisingly nothing really happens, we need a lot of that to actually have a serious effect, so much for the real stuff.
Sigh, legs dont move and u need to have a bath and have lunch. somehow u drag through all this and get to ur bed. no idea what happens for the next 3 hours and here i am back again. now im feeling too hungry with so much exercises the same day
time to catch something to eat id say.

I suggest a common ground for celebration of Holi...we guys from Kapili played Holi in our hostel,others did in theirs. A few ventured out to the other hostels...I guess u can now add another first to ur previous blog.

Most of Black noise project blogs had to solutions because there are no answers...there is no black and white...there is a lot of grey area....

"just think of it, if in every incident of eve tasing u ladies make a noise then how many of those ppl will even think of doing another incident ????? "
Raghav do you really thing voices are not raised.....but the point is they are supressed....just like the lady's liberty and integrity........
