Anticipating Holi

There is a sense of anticipation in Buddha Garden today as the volunteers get ready for a Holi festival here tomorrow afternoon.  Some of them went to a Holi party in Mahabalipuram last weekend and as with the help of two north Indian volunteers want to have their own celebration tomorrow which is the day before the actual Holi day which is Monday.  I hope it doesn't get out of hand as Holi celebrations can sometimes do.  The volunteers have very sweetly said that they will donate and funds they raise to the new kitchen, but the way they seem to be piling up the expenses (sound system, tents, snacks etc) I am not sure they will be anything left.

It is nice to have something organised here that I am not organizing. I do hope it goes well as the volunteers are obviously putting a lot of energy into it.
