Holi in Delhi is not subtle.
It has loud speakers on terraces. It’s gulal in your eyelashes. It is the strangers who are screaming Holi hai! as they have been acquainted with you. It is thandai which can be or can be not that strong as expected. That is the friend, who tells you, Bas thoda sa colour, and then empties a whole packet on your head.
