Respecting Diversities - #Holi



It was an amazing shining Sunday. We made a plan to go and celebrate the Holi in the SSDS temple in Nairobi city. We all took the bus and went town to start celebrating Holi and having fun, but some of our friends had to take haircuts and lunch before they could gain the energy to move. Well, after wasting a little time we reached the temple and ate some new foods – which were really amazing, there was a Mango with some Indian spices on it – which I will wish to eat again and again if possible. Then the guys brought some colors and started throwing on each other, at first it was a little weird because the colors smelled so bad, but we had to bare it. But, when I started throwing colors they really had to run because my attack was directly in their eyes and face. We continued this with the photography for a while and then were joined by some other friends so we had to also entertain him for a while. Then one of us got a water gun from nowhere and started throwing water on all of us – which was really weird. After a while then water gun was also broken, but the part with water is not finished two of our friends were thrown in water tub and mud which was really fun. After that we had to eat something so all gathered singing the same song and dancing while eating. Lately we found many school mates which were also having fun. I entered a Hindu temple for the first time in my life and got to learn about them and the Hinduism believes.  The last part was funny enough, eight of us had to come with the same cab and it wasn’t an easy task – nor for the taxi nor for us, and reaching school was the only thing we were worried about, so once we reached the day finished for all of us.
