Just the other day I was going through some of my last year album and in the process I came across some Pictures of Holi.
It is a colorful festival where we play with water and colors.
Just wonder, do you have a festival like that!

We are so boring in the UK - why do you think people like me are saving up to go to India?!

We have ... let's see ... well, there's the Notting Hill Carnival, but that's mostly organised by Carribean/W.Indies communities so again we're relying on an influx of ideas from abroad.

We do have a lot of local processions etc linked to certain areas. There's the Festival of flowers in Jersey, where floats bedecked in the island's flowers parade with bandsetc - I went to that years back; very bright and colorful. And cornwall has the Floral Dance in Helston - I think people dance through the streets wearing flowers there, as well. Terry Wogan sang a song about it - good reason for steering clear, IMHO!

Years ago I used to go to the Battersea Park Easter parade, though that got stopped - probably on 'elf 'n safety grounds. I took part one year, when I was 14. UK Easter's aren't renowned for warmth - I was dressed as a Hawaiian hula girl, and it was SNOWING! It was one of London'd biggest attractions (not me, the show) - lots of bands, bright floats, horses and so on.

Don't think anything here matches up to what you have though.

Hi dear...
If that is the case then you surely have to visit India.
You have to visit India to see the enthusiasm, life, joy, colors, music, dance with which we celebrate all these festivals and I invite you on part of all of us to visit us.


myLot reputation of 84/100. jazzsue58 (956)   ranked 458 out of 6,471 in enjoy life  7 months ago

I am so into all the Indian culture - luckily, there's plenty of places in the UK where I can pick up craft pieces.

Years ago I treated myself to a pure silk sari, from a shop in W. Ealing. It was beautiful, bright pink with gold embroidery detail and a pattern along the edges picked out in emerald. I actually wore it a few times - it's now safely in storage as I kinda outgrew the little top that came with it.

I did join in with the Bollywood Dance workout on Body Balance TV yesterday. It wasn't the same though.

Yes indeed.
There is only one day in the whole year when I don't wait for this festival and that is the itself.

you and me belong to the same country..so of course the festivals are same, but to tell u really, each Indian festival is unique in its own way. Not only Holi but Diwali, dusshera, each is filled with colors, not practically colors but there is color of love, truthfulness and unity in our festivals.


myLot reputation of 95/100. coolmailraj (1368)   ranked 17 out of 6,471 in enjoy life  7 months ago

I agree with you deeply.
All of them are important and are filled with different shades of life.
Thanks for your response.

The city I live in has a nickname, the City of Festivals. We have many throughout the year, including Chocolate, Shakespeare, Jazz, Arts in the Park, Music..almost too many to list, but those are my favorites. We have nothing as colorful as the Holi festival that you have. Probably the closest would be Mardi Gras in New Orleans, but 've never been to that. Do you have any pictures of Holi that you can post? Would love to see them!


myLot reputation of 95/100. coolmailraj (1368)   ranked 17 out of 6,471 in enjoy life  7 months ago

Hi dear.
I have posted a few of them in my profile, you can see them now.
Tell me whether you likeed them or not.

 

myLot reputation of 99/100. catdla1 (2562)   ranked 722 out of 6,471 in enjoy life  7 months ago

Loved seeing all of the pictures! Holi looks like a fun holiday, I wish we had something like it here. Maybe someday I'll get to see it. You look like you had a terrific time...and that's nice to see too. Was the celebration in Delhi bigger than what you've been in before?


myLot reputation of 95/100. coolmailraj (1368)   ranked 17 out of 6,471 in enjoy life  7 months ago

Delhi was good on holi...I danced and had lots of colors and water...but I was away form my friends and family...
So even though it was celebrated...something was really missed.

I gess it's Holi and Diwali. Actualy I don't Participate in these fasitvals in my area but very colourfull festivals.


myLot reputation of 91/100. cambiste (482)   ranked 4,948 out of 6,471 in enjoy life  7 months ago

It's holi, but diwali is the festival of light. In addition, we celebrate Onam and pongal - one involves colourful flowers, and the other colourful sand used to make designs on the front of houses...


myLot reputation of 95/100. coolmailraj (1368)   ranked 17 out of 6,471 in enjoy life  7 months ago

Hi.
Yup there are colors in Diwali as well but it is lights that overpower colors in Diwali.

I have not been a part of Pongal celebrations for a while now.
Wish I have a chance to enjoy it soon.

Thanks for the response and the comment.

Christmas is the most colorful festival in the USA, most towns have a parade and a
Santa for the children. The decorations and lights are on the outside of many homes all across the country. We love this celebration. Even those who are not Christian can't help but enjoy how colorful this time of year is.


myLot reputation of 95/100. coolmailraj (1368)   ranked 17 out of 6,471 in enjoy life  7 months ago

Hi.
Yes indeed the last ten days of the year are filled with the Christmas and new years celebrations and preparations.
Some of my Christan friends celebrate this period magnificently and I always join them.
Thanks for your response.

Holi of course.I think Diwali is also colorful.Isn't it?


myLot reputation of 95/100. coolmailraj (1368)   ranked 17 out of 6,471 in enjoy life  7 months ago

Yes Diwali is colorful as well but whenever you say Diwali it means you are talking about lights first.

We don't really have colourful festivals in our part of the world.A bit dull next to Indian people and other Asian countries.When you see China on the TV I feel quite jealous of all the colour and spectical.We do have the changing of the guard at Buckingham palace.xx


myLot reputation of 95/100. coolmailraj (1368)   ranked 17 out of 6,471 in enjoy life  7 months ago

Hey dear...then I invite you to join in in our festivals. It will be fun having you here.


myLot reputation of 94/100. suzzy3 (3816)   ranked 44 out of 6,471 in enjoy life  7 months ago

I am packed and ready.xx
