Happy Holi: Another version of India than Slumdog Millionaire's
As the big win of Slumdog Millionaire has moved out of the top story category, here's another version of India, one that I experienced, but without all the choreography and singing. Today is Holi, a holiday celebrating the triumph of good over evil. I forgot about it until being reminded by this Intelligent Travel post. Here's a happy Holi experience for you.
If you watched Season 13 of the Amazing Race, you may remember part of it occurred during Holi. Some of the team members were totally covered in powder. If you have blond hair, good luck getting out the green. When we went to a Holi celebration, one of my daughter's friends, a fair-haired, fair-skinned girl, looked like she was related to Shrek for about three days.

Great find--that video does seem a little more realistic!

In fairness, there's almost no choreography and singing in Slumdog (none in the movie proper), and it could also be described as being about the triumph of good over evil. I know you didn't like the movie, but no need to go out of your way to knock it.
