Saturday was Phagwah. I tried to find out what it had to do with the Hindu religion, but no one seemed to know. I’ve come to the conclusion that it is a silly holiday sort of like the Easter bunny. Anyway, it is a national water fight. Before noon, people throw water on you. They carry small buckets and the kids have a ball. Everyone loves a water fight, but this is official. The only problem is that they use trench water YUK!!! They are supposed to put color into the water and many of them do. When you get hit, your clothes are stained. In the afternoon, they forget the water and just squirt you with paint powder. It is a real mess.
