When Holi came calling amidst the hustle bustle of GMBA

Life at GMBA in SPJCM, Singapore truly is a busy affair. There are things to do and then there are things to do. Some days are good and some are bad. On the good ones, you feel actually elated and relaxed. On the bad ones, you swear about the lack of time and work as hard as possible. But most importantly, you hope for the next day to be better.

People here try to be as optimistic as one can be. So on a day when marks brought little to cheer about for most of us, and people were discontented with the outcome, there was hope with a poem doing the rounds mentioning how you should stick out through the hard times… And then there were plans to take the college to the next level (more on this in some other post).

So today is a bad day as it has turned out. But never to worry. Tomorrow shall be better. And oh! not to forget – the festival of RANG – HOLI which is now upon us. Buddies kept mouthing the famous dialog in anticipation – “Holi kab hai. Kab hai holi” from the past many days. And although we have an end term exam tomorrow, I m sure people would find time to play with colors and make the whole atmosphere colorful with the festival finally here.

For us Indians, Holi always has a special place in the festival calendar. A festival where you can let yourself out in your own way, without having to worry about class, level, age, hierarchy and what not. There are other festivals of social gathering but Holi by its sheer nature of casualness, lends an altogether different dimension. So, looking forward to Holi celebrations with friends and taking those memories with me through my life… HAPPY HOLI.

One thought on “When Holi came calling amidst the hustle bustle of GMBA

  1. thats the beauty… some occasions lose their essence and some are just forgotten.. hustle bustle is different from “make them busy to forget everything else in the world” and this for sure is not the path to trot. and about “optimism” .. words are the best absorbent one can ever find.. not only they reflect the energy but no Feng-shui is better than the charm of letters.. need not mention why Literature is valued so much and why people like you and me blog.. (Money mantra is official.. feelings need to be propagated)..cheers…
