Namish's first holi....

This holi was special....we were celebrating with our 5 month old baby "Namish"(NAMU).
For him everything was just FIRST TIME.
We took him down where people were celebrating holi with rain dance and at the other end small kids were running behind one other with their color loaded pitchkari of various models [i can't even think of such models] with such a big tank inbuilt. These models were not available in our time.....

[In our time there were only one model with limited water capacity. It was like fire and forget(unless you refill it, its of no use) and thus we were very reluctant in firing unless we were sure that we won't miss the target :-)
Most of us must be knowing which model i am talking about !! There were one hand made model also available in villages and that is made up of Bamboo tree....I am reluctant to go into detail and leaving it to your imagination......think about it !!!]

Now coming to NAMU...

We first took him to rain dance...Initially the crowd amused him. But soon was awed by the loud music(must be thinking ki chal kya raha hai ye sab).....and he went into STATUE MODE.This is the mode were he stops responding.....very funny he is in this mode.
Then we took him to kids group there he was giggling and enjoyed a lot.

Then we took him up and made him ready with his first Kurta n Dhoti dress.....(ek andar ki bat hai..his dhoti was bit transparent and we were able to see his green color diaper lol).... entire day we were making fun of his dhoti and diaper and laughing and rolling which he was not aware of and he was also laughing with us. Someday when he will read this post he may feel jittery but nonetheless we enjoyed that moment......

Thanks NAMU for making this holi so very special for us......
