In our boarding school,in the name of technology, we had just one common radio in each hostel.<br /><br />On the Holika day, all of us used to be awake late night and be by the bonfire and,were required to offer ripe wheat grass to the bonfire and take "tilak" with the ash. Next day after the colours, "bara khana", and the attraction was a sugarcane stick for each one, the dessert we used to look forward to.<br /><br />Later, after one generation,I observed my son, was not celebrating the Holika that much, but, alongwith other children in the colony, used to be very enthusiastic in preparing and burning the oldman on the 31st. December. <br /><br />Don't know what will be the next change. May be we would see a virtual Holika or Oldman. <br /><br />So this year, Holi falls on 17 March.
