Holi, the Hindu festival of colors 

Holi, the Hindu festival of colors, is traditionally celebrated by people throwing colored powder and colored water at each other. It is a popular Hindu spring festival observed in Indiaat the end of winter season on the last full moon day of the lunar month, which usually falls in the later part of February or in March. The tradition of playing with colors on Holi draws its roots from a legend of Radha and the Hindu God Krishna. It is believed that young Lord Krishna was jealous of Radha’s fair complexion since he himself was very dark. After questioning his mother Yashoda about the darkness of his complexion, Yashoda, teasingly asked him to color Radha’s face in which ever color he wanted. In a mischievous mood, Lord Krishna applied color on Radha’s face, hence the tradition of applying color on one’s beloved and loved ones is being religiously followed to this day.

Amazing colors, amazing energy! Click and be amazed yourself!

“Travel wallops my ethnocentricity.”

“Fear is, to me, for people who don’t get out very much.”

“When we travel, we gain a little more appreciation for… the baggage that people are carrying.”

“When we look at the rest of the world, rather than fear its diversity, we can better celebrate it.”

- Rick Steves on the value of travel at TedTalks

Travel Resolutions

"If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel— as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them— wherever you go."
