Colours- as they call it..!

A lovely morning of 1-03-1010. 
Yes. Finally a colorful start to the third month of the year. Waking up at 9am on a festival day,feels like heaven. It actually gives one a "Fresh feeling" when u actually do something different from what you have been doing for past 17 years(in my case..! ) actually.
Ho-Lee(My version..of Holi.! ) My Favourite festival..not in the sense of enjoyment ,rather symbolically.
Colors -The lead actors of this event.
My favourite colors Green-a symbol of vitality(Itz MY Color) ;)

Well since childhood i have been just playing with colors on this day. But today on the 18th Holi of my Life..i am sitting here ,infront of this retarded laptop,trying to figure out why people are getting so Crazy. Cum'on i know it's Holi but still..i want to know the significance of it.
Thus,i finally found this piece of History behind this festival :- (Interesting,to know..)

"The very colourful Indian god, Lord Krishna was jealous of his soul mate Radha's fair complexion, since he himself was very dark. Naughty young Krishna complained to his mother Yashoda about this injustice of nature. To placate the child, doting mother asked Krishna to apply colour on Radha's face and change her complexion according to his choice.

Playful and mischievous Krishna appreciated the idea and implemented it. The game of applying colours thus gained so much popularity that it became a tradition and later it turned out to be a full fledged festival.

Till date, lovers desired to colour and be coloured by their mates. The application of colours has in a way become an expression of love."
