This year I had no plans to celebrate Holi...thanks to the yuck weather forecast all week. But, I started getting calls a day earlier from my friends asking what's the Holi plan??? We were so close to packing our car and heading to Calgary or atleast to Seattle but, nope...ended up relaxing at home. I started calling everybody Friday evening for Saturday's Holi event and everybody I called was excited to be a part of the celebration...the weather was pretty good...a little windy in the beginning but, it cleared up.
Holi day - We got together around 11ish, socializing, kiddies got to do a little Easter Hunt of their own (turned out to be fun for them), had lots of Chai (tea), ate Chole Bhature (ordered from Shagun Sweets), and then, the fun began...Kabir inaugrated the event...somehow Sehaj opened a Yellow color pack and threw the dry color all over his face, poor guy had it in his mouth, eyes, and ofcourse started crying...cleaned him up and he was wondering what happened to everybody...can't recognise folks, where is my mummy/daddy/Sehaj? By now, we were all being attacked by others with different colors...and were covered up...couldn't recognise anybody.
We had lots of fun. We were done by 3pm, headed home, straight for the shower.

Jodha Akbar Movie - Must watch
Turned out to be a great (i personally call it Sweet) movie.
Watched it with the whole gidha team - turned out to be a Valentine's day couples movie night out. The movie was sold out - glad I had bought 20 tickets in advance for the First Day show. Good review: http://www.tribuneindia.com/2008/20080217/ttlife1.htm#8

Mitti Wajan Mardi
Went to watch http://mittiwajanmardi.com/ last night. Chacha-pathija (Uncle-nephew) shots are so hilarious we were laughing away like crazy. This is the first 3hr film that both my kids enjoyed watching without complaining - the last one we all watched together was in Dec. in California (Charlotte's Web). I just couldn't imagine them sitting thru the movie so, avoided till now. We were sitting in the first row cuz, the theatre was so jam packed when we got there. But, it was good in a way cuz, Kabir and Sehaj had lots of room to dance to the Bhangra beat.
