The long and blinding road
Happy pagan spring celebration of choice. Me, I’m off to find a bhang tablet from the local paanwalla. It’s harder than you might think in buttoned-up New Inglaaand.
For my money, the prettiest spring rituals are still those involving cherry blossoms:
The capital’s famous cherry trees are primed to burst out in a perfect pink peak about the end of this month. Thirty years ago, the trees usually waited to bloom till around April 5. [Link]
All hail global warming!

Hey! you forgot the easter monkey.
Happy Holi Manish..Nice pictures..
we made bhang minus the intoxication material what ever they put in bhang( thandayi basically) at the temple today .. I volunteered so was busy in the temple kitchen and serving food to people, but temple in Indy had a lots of bhajans, prayers, chaat food, dance, song, music, holi ka dahan and color spraying and cultural show for Holi..It was very lively though I missed most of it I could hear everything from the loud speaker..someone did come and put some holi color on my face..Nice holi ,felt a lil bit like being at home..
Some early ‘uns are a-bloom already :)
That’s how I like ‘em cherries to blossom.
Especially when I have spring feevah.
Holi macaca!
