Wishing you and you dear and near ones a very Happy Holi. Holi is the Indian festival of colours. Holi Celebrations start with Holika Dahan (bonfire) on the night before Holi where people gather, sing and pray. The next morning is the carnival of colours, where everyone plays, chases and colors each other with gulal (dry colored powder), pichakaris (water guns) and colored water-filled balloons.

Holi brings back lot of childhood
memories, we used to shop for our fancy water guns, colours and prepare water
bombs (water balloons) a night before Holi. Next day the fight of coloring each other would begin. Friends, relatives would gather on streets and open
parks -chase each other to apply colors. Everyone would have colorful faces and clothes with a smile on their faces.
After playing holi and
taking the long bath (to remove the colors) we got to eat scrumptious food. Be
it tikki, channa chaat, ragda patties or
gulab jamuns. I can prepare everything here as well, but nothing beats when
your mother cooks- right?
On a sweeter note, below is
the collection of quick and easy Holi Sweets.
