Holi festival celebration

  

On Sunday the volunteers organised a Holi festival - Holi being the spring festival which is normally celebrated in the north of India.  This is a picture of the start of the festival when there was painting and various other activities and when there were quite a few families.

Unfortunately everything deteriorated as the evening wore on.  The music was very loud (and horrible techno music, but I suppose that is a matter of opinion) and although I kept asking them to turn it down they wouldn't.  They said they would finish by 10.00pm which came and went.  In the end I had to go and just turn off the computer so they couldn't play any more. 

Not a nice thing to have to do.
