Goja time

Lots and lots of yummy sweets! Bad for you but delicious indulgence for the occasion. 

I was never fond of the colorful powdering (like the color run) and abeer but always enjoyed the water play in my front yard in Guyana with my family. And of course the sweets. The tradition in Guyana of sharing boxes of sweets with family and friends meant way to many sweets.

Happy Holi to all who are celebrating.

Expression of Love
Lovers too long to apply colours on their beloved. This has a popular legend behind it. It is said that the naughty and mischievous Lord Krishna started the trend of playing colours. He applied colour on his beloved Radha to make her one like him. The trend soon gained popularity amongst the masses. No wonder, there is no match to the Holi of Mathura, Vrindavan and Barsana - the places associated with the birth and childhood of Radha and Krishna.
