Rigved

Today morning Rigved wondered, “What if we are wrong and the color blind people are right?”

Rigved has been at home for the last 10 days!!! He was down with a cold for 2 of these 10 days in which Banda took a day off and cured him by imparting some of her warmth which burnt the living hell out of the bacteria that had entered Bin Bin’s system. The rest of the days went in just getting back to normal which included, reading, watching movies, playing with friends, building a board game… basically everything except for school and studies. This is the second time he has recovered without any medical help.

All in all 10 days of relaxation and fun have gone by and soon the Christmas vacation will set in and another set of 10 days of relaxation and fun will officially begin!

Today is Holi! The festival of colors. People from all age groups come together and color each other to a point where they cannot be differentiated. Hopefully the objective of this exercise is to come to a point where the differences between people disappear at least for some time. Anyway, I am not too fond of this whole hullabaloo.

Rigved just loves this festival! It gives him a all access license to play with water. And that too colored water. Banda arranged for a great looking pichkari that could blow out 5 streams of water at the same time. She also got him colors and went down with him with a bucketful of water. She had to occasionally refill it as well. She noticed that Rigved did not use water from other children´s buckets and also did not let them use his! All in all both of them were back in more then a couple of hours and Rigved was a lot greener than a Martian Alien.
