In reality I love colors but I hate 'being colored' so I thought to device some strategies ....I wish they could work for me this time also
there are 4 ways to protect yourself from all craps and messy outcome of harmful colors and chemicals in HOLI. In fact there are more than two, but it all depends how well winds support the sail which u r trying to come across. I mean your long term strategies.
# the number one strategy is to dont care at all and let people tread oblivion and declare you a coward and a fool who can lock oneself in the room ,on the day to escape colors, whatever.....types.
#Second one says, create a hype beforehand that you are a dude and can paint anyone[even if you are a meek in case of being painted][;)],Be a terror or pose like one, by showing people some instances, 2-3 days before holi.....pour water from ur bottle itself, throw water baloons ,being on a safe height level etc. but dont spent much on colours or anything else, seize ppl's weapon and use them.
#third is encounter and face everything bravely.Nothing mammoth size loss can happen if one day you look like an ape or a Ghost with all those colors. let yourself be "rang biranga" one day.
#Fourth one can be, plan a strategy a month or two before, and whenever you get time start lecturing on green fashion, global warming, herbal colors, people's duty for environmental concerns... etc. etc. so much so that crowds consider you a socially concerned activist[ or a third class 'boring' person,and to escape ur third class traumatic lecture ,they would never come near you ][;)]
#and the final one could be to,'take life as it comes' depend entirely upon your mood. chill maaro .
Which one I 'll try is an entirely different issue, because I've tried each one several times. so, I'm looking for a new plan.
But a day before holidays[extended weekend] yaar, when my college was being closed ,we LDians rocked, our dept. being on the 3rd floor was an added asset. Right from the moment I entered college, everything was colorful forme, firstly because there was no morning session, our Illustration class was cancelled due to absence of teacher. Secondly, It meant a lot because I was already 10 minutes late, ha ha.As soon as I approched the nescafe area, I felt something pouring upon my head, as I peeped up, I could see the "danger gang" of my class giving me a sweet smile together, which made me smell something very fishy... Neways, I climbed the stairs, I hate them, they make me pant like a dog!!!!! although in a way I love them because I've lost atleast5 kg weight after coming to the dept. [but lets not deviate] So, I was climbing the stairs and also noticing the stern silence that followed. As soon as I reached the floor and kept my baggeges[sorry 'bojha'] on the desk, I cought myself stranded amidst 7-8 simultaneous attacks of water cannons, those guns were so small that only kindergarden kids could play with it, no wonder our class comprises some ardent fans of 'shinchan' and other cartoon characters!!!!!!!!After getting fully drenched, my instincts compelled me to take revenge, so I took out my bottle from my bag and started using it as a 'powerful pichkari' now the whole game turned and people started running away from me, O god it was so much fun, then we also poured water and dropped 'bomb baloons' on some fellows standing downstairs. this program continued for an hour or two, till we realized that some of our seniors were also there hidden in the pm lab, so we went and made them wet too, till the time,we were thrown out by our faculty and staffs [:)] any ways we are not supposed to listen to them na, that too 2 days before holi.[;)]
Then anyhow some faculties managed to take our class[ and that too theory class, in which we refused to study, so seeing the fear of mass spark of rabellion, our Leather studies Sir tought us how to prepare natural colors and dyes used in vegetable tanning and also holi. [:)] , it was on the same note as mummy used to make us eat Spinach and green vegetables, hiding it beneath layers of tasty sabzi. [ha ha] the third class was of 'marketing', were teacher discussed advertisements and adds haywhere seen, although she tried to connect it with our course-context, but we would'nt allow her ;)
Then the moment when we got rid of those people, it was our gala tym. one of my classmates who had hidden a color spray bottle in my bag took it from me [If I ever knew that what laid hidden in my bag right from the morning was a dangerous stinky-foamy- magenta spray, why would I ever give it to him, I could have used it myself,anyways bullet was already out of the gun, so It was now my turn to escape.4 of us returned back, although I never intended to come home so early, but couln't afford to get soaked in colors 2 days before. Henceforth I returned back, but unfortunately, while I was coming out of auto near my house, one of the neighbour sardarjee threw a water baloon on me, luckily I escaped by an inch but he mockingly waved to me, which was more than enough for me to get upon my heels. There is still a day to go and I've already gathered all sorts of ammunitions wid me [colors,pichkari, gulal and even mettalic paints!!!!]whatever may be the consequence, I'm all set to color every bit!!!!!! [:D]
