A Happy Holi made even more
Colorful
This is
such a momentous occasion that just had to blog about this.
Something
so exciting happened that I have to share my feelings on the occasion. I got to
the top five in the Mills and Boon India Passions Contest. *swoons*
This morning I was just
after the kids to stop wasting time on the ipad and piling clothes for a
folding spree and absentmindedly opening the Mills and Boon India page for a looksee
at the Holi posts. Side by side I was on phone to sil to wish her. And there
the results were. Totally lost the track of what I was saying and sil was like
hello?? Where are you?? Somehow finished the call and opened the link.
When I found my story up there, I couldn't
believe it. I said OMG and son was ya what is it? Then my daughter, who been
taking an interest in my doings (she's 14) and I were hopping madly and she
said, don't step on my toes, mom I'm not wearing slippers.
Today is
Holi the festival of colours and this day has been mad from the start. First
hubby waking me up smearing clour on my face. Then as soon as I rubbed the
sleep from my face son was squirting his watergun on me. I gave back good when
I came back from my walk. But I think I suffered rather more.
What a
madcap morning. I was drenched through. And you can't know how a cold water
blast running down your back feels till
you try it! With her usual logic daughter concluded that I must ask Mills and
Boon when the contest voting results come out so they can drench me again
because it has proved lucky for me. Kids!
And very
rashly in my excitement I promised they can eat every variety of Domino's pizza
when daughter reminded me of the pizza treat she had been promised. *smacks
head*
It was a
wonderful morning. It feels especially good because as almost all aspiring
writers know, the downs are so disheartening that reaching anywhere near up calls for a celebration of the effort that has been put into our writing. Right, guys?
For the Indians reading this, how did your Holi go? Would love to hear about your
experience.
Thanks for
sharing this with me. Ciao!
So excited for you! Fingers crossed!
