Holi@HeaderLabs

Hello Everyone!!

Today I am not going to write anything related to Appium, Selenium or any other technical stuffs but the Holi Festival, which we celebrated last week here @HeaderLabs.

Holi is a colorful and most fun-filled festival which is celebrated in the month of March, usually in the latter half of the month. It is a festival, with dancing, singing, and throwing of powder paint and colored water. Numerous legends and stories associated with Holi celebration makes the festival more exuberant and vivid. The most popular one is related to the killing of Holika. The story centers around an arrogant king who wanted everyone in his kingdom to worship him. But his son Prahlad refused and worshiped Lord Vishnu instead. He attempts to kill his son but fails each time. Finally, the king’s sister Holika who is said to be immune to burning, sits with the boy in a huge fire. However, the prince Prahlada emerges unscathed, while his aunt burns to death. Holi commemorates this event from mythology, and huge bonfires are burnt on the eve of Holi as its symbolic representation.

Here @Headerlabs, we celebrate this festival on last Friday with lots of fun and masti. It was my first Holi here @HeaderLabs, and it was a very nice experience. I like the way they celebrate any festival, spacially Holi. First, You can’t be on leave on the day when the celebration is scheduled. Further, You will be the target if it’s your first Holi with them. In fact, there is no difference between the targeted person and the rest. The only difference which I felt is ....you will be thrown first to that muddy place(prepared specially for this festival). That’s it. Once you got that look which Anil Kapoor gets in the movie Nayak...You are done !! Now it’s your turn to replicate your looks to the remaining people. It was too much fun at least for me.
