"Kab hai holi? Holi kab hai" one of the many
unanswered questions of theHindi cinema found
its answer this year. The Holi was on
11th March, 2009. Holi is a festival of colors
but the color was yellow this year because of
the disaster which I witnssed on that day.
Even now, when I think of this day, it reminds
me of the movie “Final Destination”. I find,
everything was planned such a way that the
disaster was destined to occur.
As I had already put all my tee shirts for
laundry (1st indication), and was left only
with my favorite shirt to wear for going to
college. The day was just like a regular day,
suddenly from thin air popped up one of my
roommates (2nd indication). Generally these
days I return home only around 12 in the night,
but he convinced me to come home with him a
little early (3rd indication). I thought,
every day anyways I work for long hours; hence
there won't be any harm in going home early
at least on Holi.
I joined him and we decided to walk instead
of cycling back to home (4th indication).
Soon we reached the traffic signal next to our
apartment, and we were waiting for the signal
to turn green so that we could cross the road.
Suddenly, I saw a group of cool Desi guys
crossing the road, on seeing them a fear ran
down from my head to toe. (Things could have been
different if I read the indications) I got a
feeling, something is going to go wrong, soon
almost everyone in the group had crossed the road
and even we got the signal to cross the road too.
Suddenly, one of the guys from the group
identified me and returned back to me to apply
color to my face.
As we had no access to Holi colors, this group
used cold cream and mixed turmeric powder and
had been applying this paste on everyone’s face
since evening. Soon later, everyone figured us
out and came rushing towards us, they didn't
even bother to look for vehicles while crossing
the road, and then the disaster struck.
I almost fainted; I still don't remember what
exactly happened after that. Only thing I
remember is, I requested my roommate for an
immediate life support system.
Few days later...
Following is the conversation between me
and my roommate Ameya (Conversation is almost
in its true form with little modification
because my intensions are not to hurt anyone’s
feeling).
Ameya: u der
