Golden Days Were Back!!! Memories Galore @ C-1

Hi guys. Well due to lack of time it has taken almost a week to write this blog. This one has a special meaning for me and the BLOG is all about this year’s holi and almost certainly we can say Last Holi of C-1.There was some doubt about this function at the beginning but things went according to plan and our HOLI at C-1 became a blockbuster Event. Here is a brief note as to how the events finally were unfolded during HOLI.
After conducting small meetings and get-togethers it was Rohan,Me, Sagar and Sachin who took this event forward with enormous support of Kawale Kaka( A mentor for us and a person who made all this possible).On Sunday 28th Feb Sachin and Me went to C-1 at approximately 5:30 P.M. Then Kawale Kaka came down and started making necessary preparations for constructing a HOLI. After few hours of hard and smart work Our HOLI got ready at around 8:30 P.M. Kawale Kaka monitored as well as worked hard in preparing HOLI and Me,Rohan,Sachin,Mandar and Prasad also did our bit.
Mr.Sagar arrived in his car at around 9:30 P.M after which our whole C-1 SENA left for purchasing necessary pooja materials like Garland, Coconut and Pedas for Prasad. Finally auspicious ceremony of Burning HOLI happened at 10:30 P.M and it was well attended with about 15 to 20 people and special thanx to Chabu, Ritika, Ankita and Monali, Aditi for their participation. After playing with Gulal for some time our C-1 Boys Gang left to have dinner at Quarter Deck Four Bungalows. Food was mindblowing. Nice food joint suggested by Prasad.
It was almost 2:00 A.M till we reach C-1 and we had a night stay at my flat ( Room No.8 ).Sagar’s decision of purchasing a Card Deck was a masterpiece and we literally enjoyed our game of “LADDIES” whole night till about 5:00 A.M. My team winning the “LADDIES” competition was a perfect icing on the cake. It was almost 6:30 A.M when we slept, so 1st of March was going to start pretty late. As expected we woke up at 11:30 A.M and I want to specially THANK JOSHI KAKU who made a cup of TEA for us in the morning. A Cup of TEA in the morning can’t be compared with any other thing in the world.
Finally our RANGPANCMI program start at around 12:00 in afternoon and it was really a spectacular experience. I would like to mention the names of all the individuals who were present for RANGPANCHMI. SAGAR, ROHAN, ALHAD, SACHIN, PRASAD, MANDAR, MANAS(Prasad’s Cousion Bro), ANKITA, RITIKA, MONALI, CHABU ,ADITI and few other members of Prasad’s family were there. MIDC group from bldg No 17 and 31(I am not sure about the bldg no’s) also made a special appearance which added more fun to our HOLI function. The best part of RANGPANCHMI is the process of Applying Colors and Sprinkling water in large quantities on each other. Our faces were painted with various colors like Pink, Saffron, Navy Blue, Yellow and So on. All of us were completely drenched with water.
After that Me and Rohan brought Thandai and Samosa from ISKON for our Group. Sipping Thandai during HOLI gives a special feeling and not to forget that high calories but tasty samosas for company. Since it is our C-1 SENA, “JAI MAHARASHTRA” vadapav also made an appearance courtesy “JAGDISH MAMA”. After having short and sweet T20 Style Holi for about couple of hours, we made our way back home in SAGAR’s CAR.THANX DUDE for the lift. Bathing and removing colors after HOLI is a huge task but everyone enjoyed it to their fullest because while removing those colors our mind got back to the fun we had for 2 straight days at our beloved building. ThankYou C-1 for engraving yet another GOLDEN MEMORY in our LIFE……..

WITH LOTS OF LOVE……..
