Colored – an Indian tradition ( I will find out the name of it J)
Yesterday there was a function in the college I am living at. I was invited to this so I went there. It was made for the new fresh students that are living in the hostel of the college. I did not know what to expect, but I was told to get on clothes that can get dirty. OK. At the entrance I was given a water pistol. And about 10 minutes later I was sprinkled blue all over my body and clothes. Additionally they threw with some stuff around that Is grayish, but feeling like sand. Very funny. All students were running around like crazy having different colors in their pistol, which they could fill up at some bottles on the edge of the place. And of course they threw around with these colors. It kind of reminded me of the days when we were finished with school. After this action and the finishing of all the colors there was time to dance. Of course I didn’t know most of the funny songs, I could not adapt that easily with the dancing style of all these girls, but we had a nice time.

School Prayers
Another function was going on in the school this morning. It’s kind of a welcoming for the Rahmazan. All the school has been decorated with cottons. On the ground of one floor they had all cloths. On these the students and teachers where sitting. It looked really pretty! Than they started with their prayers. For this they all covered their head in the respect of god. It was really nice to be part of this, although I could not understand what they were saying. Unfortunately I had to go very early, so I missed the part with the food.
