Festival of Colors

MAKE UP POST

The festival of colors was very fun.  The Krishna Temple is near my parent’s house so I would attend the festival of colors very frequently.  The annual tradition is one that I have not missed out on since last year.  I particularly enjoy the festivities because everyone there is so happy.  It is not like a concert or something where people are just there.  At the festival of colors, there are all kinds of people that come together and don’t judge because everyone looks the same.  One of my friends was walking around and he offered free hugs to all of the girls he could find.  He thought he was pretty cool until we saw a couple making out.  Anyone who has been to the festival of Colors would know how incredibly disgusting that really is. There is a plethora of chalk that literally get everywhere on the body including the mouth.  The chalk tastes something like what I imagine licking a construction workers boots would taste like.  Did that make sense?  But all in all I would say that my favorite part was when we burned the witch.  It symbolized burning the bad parts of us and forsaking them.
