Yellow  for Youthfulness
when all these colors combine its HOLI !!

Colorful Holi or was it a Muddy Holi? We would say it was a combination of both.Yes, March 9^th 2012, which was the festival of colors, was celebrated with great enthusiasm at KIAMS.  The excitement could be felt among the students from the previous day itself as everybody was making plans on whom to target with colours. On March 8^th the “Holika Dahan” Puja done by our very own Dr.Gopal Iyengar and all other faculty members.The Holi celebration was witnessed that very evening. Random clicking of pics, splattering of colors made the evening an enjoyable one, and this was followed by a delectable dinner.

Holika Dahan

All the students were really excited for the main Holi celebrations the next day.

The next day Holi celebration was just unforgettable. All the students gathered on the ground with fluorescent colors. Each and every guy was waiting with colors in their hands and as soon as anyone stepped onto the ground he or she was smeared with the colors. Every student's face was as colorful as a rainbow.Gulaal was flying everywhere and the campus-ground was as bright as any kindergarten's colorbook! 

The playing of the “Desi Holi songs” created the atmosphere in the campus. Even our own Dr.Gopal Iyengar joined to play Holi with the students which shows his enthusiasm & spirit to participate in every festival. He also gave his blessings students & became a part of the celebration.

Initially, it was a colorful Holi but  as soon as the colors got over, it was nothing but the very obvious muddy Holi!! Now, it was no more of splattering of colors, rather it was the splattering of mud. Dipping of the students in the pool of muddy water was not just once or twice, it was for innumerable times.We were covered with colors, mud, twigs etc from head to toe!! first only the guys were diving into the muddy grounds but since girls are no more the delicate darlings they also took their turns! gradually the whole campus was MUDDY-LICIOUS

Few of them were literally shouting, Nahi nahi, I have already been dipped 5 times, no more please, but who cares to listen?  But yes, this muddy Holi raised the excitement level for most of the students and the celebration continued till 1pm. Even the students who were trying to escape from this Holi celebration were ultimately lost between the flowing colors and the muddy water. Indeed it was an Eco-friendly Holi!!

After the Holi celebration got over the only words which could be heard from every student’s mouth was: “this Holi celebration can never be forgotten, it was indeed the best experience we have ever had!” The experience made us forget even the aftermath of the celebration (the fatigue & pain in limbs). This Holi was an Eco-friendly and nature played a major role!
