    Hi
    I am visiting my cousins in Delhi. It seems Holi is played with great fervour in Delhi. Everyone from the CEO to the man on the street plays it with gusto. I hear the movers and shakers in Delhi ( read CEOs and industrialists) wear white (it is a must) garments, get together at farmhouses, drink bhang etc, hire DJs, dance away to glory and then dunk each other by turn at the swimming pool. This is followed by a heavy lunch with the choicest of delicacies. And yes! gujiyas is a must.
    There is a big construction site where I am staying. The entire construction crew made the most of the day off - they started off with playing dholak and singing paens in praise of Lord Krishna - the Lord of Mathura. Their singing had a rustic flavour and I enjoyed it very much.
    How did all you celebrate Holi. Do let us know your Holi stories!!!
