Holi and Party

Yesterday, March 19, 2011, we, Laramie-Nepalese, celebrated Holi, a hindu festival of colors. Lok dai and his family came along with Sonam, Saroj, and Puspa in our apartment. They "smeared" our face with colored powder. Then we started our journey from one Nepali's apartment to others to celebrate Holi and we headed from one apartment to other. When we reached Baichhabi dai's apartment, more people joined us. Then we went to other Nepali's apartment who are living 'Spanish Walk apartment.' Almost all Laramie Nepali people smeared each other's faces with colored powder. Lok dai, Saroj dai, and kaman Dai were playing Madal-a Nepali musical instrument, and signing folks songs while some were dancing.

Furthermore, we planned to organize a get-together so as to enjoy and celebrate Holi by eating, singing, and dancing. According to our plan, we all gathered at our apartment and started to prepare, manage, and be ready for the party. Party started at 7:00 pm and last at 2:00 am. It was a great time to enjoy with joyful friends and brothers, so I did not miss the opportunity to have a fun at the party. Lok Dai, Basant Dai, Rajan Dai, Rajendra Dai, Saroj Dai, Baichhabi Bro,Vagaban, Ajit, Sudip, Manoj, Shanker,Sano Saroj, and I all were enjoying the party very much by dancing and singing. I would like to thank you all for making party very enjoyable and special thanks to Bhaujus and Dhurba for their great help and contributions.
