Holi.... A festival of Colours for everyone. Such a strong command this name has that it surely rings happiness on everyone's face. A gloomy day would turn around into the most memorable day for a person on this day.
This is my 10th Holi away from home.. Away from friends.. Away from Family.. I hardly remember though celebrating it with my family but I surely remember how fun it was celebrating the same with friends. Those days unlike today no one had prior commitments, none of my friends I remember gave reasons for NOT celebrating the same. Over these years so much has changed; even though day by day every thing seems to be same and normal... ( We call it a ROUTINE ) but when I look back everything is so different.
I remember the Holy preparations for Holi... They used to start days earlier than the D Day..! It was so much fun cribbing about the best "pichkari" that you want in front of your parents; bragging about it once you have got it in front of your friends. I used to have different combination of colors only to mix them and come out with the best possible invention which looks funny..
This year Holi is a lot different from other years.. This year I am playing holi with the colorful memories of my past and colorful dreams that I have but unfortunately to mix them up I have nothing but tears.. Tears which roll down reminding of your beautiful past and tears which roll down reminding you how much more is there to Achieve...
But suddenly one more thought crosses my mind. Is it that this achievement which is taking out everything from me? Or is it that really people change and more than people their preferences change..
There were people who would not allow me sit a single moment for free on such a day.. I called these people friends.. They are out here somewhere nearby but they are busy and I UNDERSTAND... Its something that they cannot avoid or neglect.. I dont think I can do anything else except UNDERSTANDING them...!! After all they are my FRIENDS..!!
