Holi throws social hierarchy out the window. For one day, elders and juniors throw colored powder and water at each other. It is accompanied by Bhang (an edible cannabis preparation) and Thandai (a sweet milk drink).
Close your eyes. You hear the adhan from a mosque, the bells from a temple, and the Azaan overlapping with a bhajan on a loudspeaker. A chai wallah whistles as he pours steaming tea into clay cups. A scooter honks—three short, one long—a secret language of the road. This is not noise; this is India’s shor (commotion), and to a local, it’s as soothing as white noise. allmovieshubbio 18 graphic desires 202
