Colors and Comrades

India, in my flickering mind, is an irking image of contradictions and extremes, between explosive friendships and subdued families. Somewhere in there is the festival of Holi. When people think Holi, they typically focus on the colors which is awesome, but it is also a great leveler, everyone (kids, girls, grand men and women) celebrates with very simple technology: color powders, water squirts, and huge smiles. Type in Holi into flickr or picasa and see some great pictures.
