The best part of the chowtal was the chow (bara, palourie, biganie) that came with it.

You're muslim, what would you know about Chowtal? My Dad was in our village group; they ate sweets: persad, keer, mitai, gulgulla, goja, etc.

Sweetheart, being Muslim never stopped me from my ancestral Hindu culture and customs. I have been to many chowtals and was used to spend the whole day playing phagwah which is different from phagwali.
If yu de living near me, I woulda soak yuh good and prappah on phagwah day.

A few years ago hubby's siblings visited from Toronto, then all the cousins nearby came over to play Phagwah. They took the hose and were spraying each other. It was about 30 degrees and the water was freezing. All the neighbors looked at them like they were nuts.
Oye Ksaz, I'm planning my Dad's 90th in Pembroke Pines. There was a guy called Drago from there and he used to pick fights with D2, don't know if was you.

Dem celebrate pagwali, not holi. Dey mudda rass ain't even know the significance. Meanwhile dem keep turncoats like you close with a dagger in one hand to stab you in the back should you turn on them like Charrandas.
Is it tomorrow Phagwah and Thursday Phagwali?

That's true. Here, we just tell the children to play, and grownups, to be childish and have fun. We have enough copies of the lyrics in English transliteration for those who want to sing and have fun. The culture is alive and growing. We play only with baby powder.
Full disclosure. Even now we does go to the phagwah celebrations. We dus lef we house in brand new clean white clothes and come back home like this. We neighbors would say that we went to the tie dye party.
