Re: Happy Holi
Those are some cool shots! I like the focus and DOF in the first one. Is that someone's arm on his shoulder?

Re: Happy Holi
Oh, its a long reading I know. Well in short it helluva fun. Its about colours, water, throwing water balloons, throwing eggs, distributing sweets, taking off the silencers off the two wheelers & breaking the rules. (cops give li'l relaxation that day for sometime)
Some quality of colours take 5-7 days to get off the skin. Hehe... So we apply good amount of oil on our skin so that colours go off easily.
I didn't play holi, this year & last year as we had had some mishaps amongst of relatives in last two years. We don't celebrate any festival if we lose someone close amongst close relatives. So I went around in car with my friends & took these shots
