Searching for Ammunition on the mean streets of india

Moving right along with adventures in Incredible India...this was (I think!) Day 2 in New Delhi, situated in Northern India. We had planned this trip around The Holi Festival of Colors.  Similar to India's Christmas, it is a nationally recognized holiday - the most auspicious and important day in the Hindu culture.  In India, the word "auspicious" is used frequently.  I'd like to think that I have a pretty robust vocab, but I honestly hadn't heard the word used too much, and was curious.  So much so, that I had to ask our guide exactly what it meant in the context of their daily life.  He response:  "of great importance, special meaning, good luck, good karma".  So the sheer fact that we were in India to experience the holiday was "good karma".  He was cool enough to take us after-hours (separate from our tour) to search for colors, or colored powders. Which, as all Indian peeps know, is a MUST on Holi.  Not having colors on Holi is like going to battle without ammo!  Only in this battle, it's all LOVE.  To find out more about this awesome holiday, check out this link:  http://www.holifestival.org/festival-of-colours.html
