      XPost: alt.romance, alt.guns, soc.women       XPost: soc.men, alt.philosophy       From: ibshamlat@gmail.com              Recently I read blog posts by some famous Indians about       their most memorable Holi festival. This led me to       remember my last Holi. Before narrating my tale let me       tell you a little about the background of holi       festival. The colorful festival of Holi is celebrated       in most parts of India during February-March. On the       day of the Holi men and women, irrespective of caste       and creed mingle together and exchange colors. A lot of       hooliganism is displayed in the name of fun. The       celebrations can get wild and rowdy -- it is one of the       few occasions of the year that the sexes are allowed to       mix freely.              Holi derives its name from the she-demon Holika who was       the sister of Hiranyakashipu, the king of the demons.       His son Prahlad was a religious person devoted to god       Vishnu. After attempts to convert Prahlad to the ways       of the demons failed, Hiranyakashipu decided to have       him killed. It was decided that Holika would take her       nephew and enter a burning pyre.              She would use her magical skills to protect her, but       Prahlad would be burnt alive. But who can harm the one       who the gods protect. The reverse happened. Holika was       burnt to death and Prahlad emerged from the flames       unscathed. Holi is thus celebrated to commemorate the       death of the evil aunt, after whom the festival is       named, and the new life granted to Prahlad for his       devotion and faith. To this day, cow dung is hurled       into the fire and obscenities are shouted at the Holi       fire at some places to insult Holika.              In past I celebrated Holi with my friends, and had a       party in the evening. I loved playing the wild Holi,       but I was a bit careful last year. The last year was       different for me in more ways than one.              Last year I left my teens and my home too. I was an       only son of my parents but then my mother died and soon       my father decided to remarry. There were exchange of       hot words between my father and me on the issue of his       remarriage and in the end the dirty old man asked me to       leave his house. In anger I immediately did that and       went to live with my maternal grandparents. They were       kind rough to accept me as a member of family.              My grandparents had a small two storey house, where       they were living with one of their married son and a       divorced daughter. Their son that is my Uncle Suresh       lived with his wife and two children on the upper       portion of the house while my grandparents lived in the       lower portion along with their daughter whom I called       Aunt Rakhi.              I was given a small room to live in the lower portion       but whenever some guests came to stay for a while, I       was asked to sleep in my aunt's room. My Aunt Rakhi was       around 44. She had lost some weight since the last time       I had seen her though she still had a few extra pounds       to lose. For a 44 years old woman she wasn't bad       looking.              She was a working woman so she had to carry herself       well. There were two or three age lines in her face but       she still looked hot. Her figure is well maintained but       her real beauty was in her boobs. They were not very       big but they were not small either. The most important       thing was that they were not loose as per her age. She       had a beautiful round ass too and while she walked       wearing a sari fitting tight on her, the motion of her       ass could make dead men blinking. She had long       beautiful hairs. Earlier they were black but as some of       her hairs became white she started dying them cooper       red . The color added more beauty to her hairs. When       her untied hairs swung in the wind she looked like a       ... goddess.              Coming back to my last Holi I can say that it was       celebrated in an unholy manner. On the morning of Holi       my grandma woke me up and asked me to take a bath. I       was the last one to the bath and when I came down to       the breakfast table, my uncle Suresh and his wife Gita       aunty were there too. Uncle was wearing a t-shirt and       shorts but Gita aunty was wearing a green blouse and       green petticoat but no sari. I could easily make out       she was not wearing a bra and she had tied her       petticoat well below her naval. Her naval was oval in       shape and very deep. Uncle said to me, "Why haven't you       changed yet?"              I was staring at Gita aunty so I did not answer him.       Uncle shook me and repeated the question. "I am about       to change," I replied.              Grandfather told me, "This is your first Holi in this       house son, let me tell you Holi is the only festival in       this house where rules are relaxed, so enjoy." I didn't       get the full meaning of what he was saying but anyhow I       nodded my head.              After breakfast I entered my room for chaging the       dress. Aunt Rakhi followed me and said, "Remember no       one will be wearing under garments today" She herself       was wearing a red blouse and a maroon petticoat. She       was also not wearing any bra and her petticoat was tied       below her naval. Her naval was big, round and deep.              The festival started when grandma handed everyone a       glass of thandai (It is a drink made by mixing milk,       dry fruits and bhang). Everyone raised his or her glass       and gulped the drink. [Associated with Lord Shiva,       bhang is considered an official Holi drink. Culled from       the leaves and buds of cannabis - the very intoxicating       bhang helps to escalate the spirit of holi - a festival       which does not recognise any restrictions. Lip smacking       thandai, pakoras and vadas, all having bhang as a very       essential ingredient, are savored by all on the day.       Bhang was first used as an intoxicant in India around       1000 BC and soon became an integral part of Hindu       culture. There is even a belief that to meet someone       carrying bhang is an omen of success.]              After having our drink Uncle Suresh said to me, "We       will play the game the way we play it every year, the       women will run and hide while we men will search the       women and attack them with colors" I said, "sounds       fun." So I, grandpa, uncle and his son ran towards the       gate and got the buckets that also had pichkaris       (colour spraying pump) inside.              When I turned around I did not see any female, they all       disappeared. As we came near the front door the water       filled balloons started to fall on us. I looked up and       saw my uncle's daughter Nirmala doing it. We all ran       towards the terrace but she was not there to be found.       Grandpa told me to check the water tank on the roof.       Uncle and I climbed the tank but instead of the girl we       found Aunt Rakhi there. Uncle caught his sister by her       waist and brought her down. He made her stand in front       of grandpa.              "We have found our first victim," Uncle said.              Aunt Rakhi was struggling to escape but uncle caught       both her hands from behind. Grandfather then took a       pichkari, filled it with colour and sprayed the colour       on her body from head to her belly. To my surprise my       uncle took some dry colour in his hands, opened the two       buttons of her blouse, and inserted his hands inside.              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
