Hello, my lovely Learners! 🎨✨

I hope you’re all ready for the most colorful, messy, and totally chaotic blog of 2022—my Holi celebration vlog! Now, if you’re wondering, “Pari, why are we reading about your Holi adventures?” Well, let’s just say that there’s a lot to learn from this wild ride. So buckle up, grab some color (or a towel… trust me, you’ll need it), and let’s dive into the colorful disaster that was my Holi day!

1. Getting Ready (A.k.a. The Pre-Holi Hustle)

You know how they say, “Preparation is key”? Well, let me tell you, the preparation was 90% me googling how to remove color stains from every part of my body (hint: it’s impossible) and 10% hoping I wouldn’t get a direct hit to the face. I watched countless YouTube tutorials on the perfect Holi look, but none of them mentioned that there’s always that ONE friend who thinks it’s hilarious to smear green powder on your white shirt. So, to anyone planning a Holi wardrobe, here’s my tip: Wear something old, and expect the worst. 😜

2. The Color Throwing: Expectation vs. Reality

Expectation: I’ll toss a handful of bright pink powder into the air and look super dramatic and majestic. It’ll be like a scene from an epic Bollywood movie, and I’ll get the perfect Instagram shot. 💅✨

Reality: Me, trying to aim the color at my friends, but instead accidentally painting my own face and then slipping on the ground because, of course, the color made everything super slippery. Classic Pari moment. 🙄

Moral of the story: Holi is 90% fun and 10% not getting hit in the eye with a flying gulal (color powder). And for those of you wondering, yes, I totally got a few way too close for comfort color bombs to the face.

3. The Water Balloon Incident

So, water balloons, right? They seem harmless enough. I thought I was prepared. I watched a whole Holi 101 video on the “perfect water balloon toss,” but reality hit hard when I accidentally hit my neighbor’s dog instead of my friend! 🐶💦 Oops, sorry Buddy! 🙈

Here’s what I learned: Water balloons are either your best friend or your worst enemy. They either burst at the perfect moment—making you look like a Holi legend—or they explode too early and leave you with a sad, deflated balloon and a mess in your hand.

4. The Aftermath: Color, Color Everywhere

After hours of chaos, the colors started to settle… on my face, in my hair, on my clothes, and, well, everywhere I went. I looked like a walking rainbow, but it wasn’t as glamorous as I’d hoped. My once-white shirt was now the perfect shade of “Holi disaster.” And don’t even get me started on my hair—it looked like a color palette exploded in it! 💁‍♀️🌈

At this point, the only lesson I had learned was that Holi is all about letting go of your worries… and your dignity. Also, if you have white clothes on, make sure you have a backup outfit for the post-Holi cleanup because, trust me, you’re going to need it.

5. The Cleanup (or How to Scrub for Hours and Still Be Stained)

After the color-filled madness, I thought the worst was over. I was wrong. I spent an entire hour trying to get the color out of my nails, skin, and hair, only to realize I was too optimistic. You’ll be scrubbing your body for days, people! Pro tip: Coconut oil can help with removing color from skin, but for your hair… well, you’ll just need to ride out the colorful streaks for a week or so. 😅

Final Thoughts:

So, what did I learn from this year’s Holi adventure? A whole lot, actually:

• Be prepared for the mess: There’s no avoiding it. You’re going to look ridiculous, but you’re also going to have the time of your life.
• Don’t take yourself too seriously: Holi is about letting loose and having fun, even if that means being covered in neon-colored powder for the next few days.
• It’s all about the friends: Sure, you might spend a good chunk of the day trying to get the color off your face, but the laughs, the playful fights, and the memories made are what make it all worth it.

So, here’s to a colorful 2022, filled with laughter, friendship, and a lot of color stains! 🌸🖌

Stay messy, stay fun, and most importantly, learn from your colorful mistakes!

Catch you in the next adventure, Pari 💖🎉
