SI, SI !!!! QUE RECORRAN LA RED!!! ^-^

Holi: Festival del color


País: India
Fecha: al inicio de la primavera, durante tres días

Holi es una celebración popular que festeja la llegada de la primavera hindú, en la que la gente se lanza polvos de colores, al más puro estilo del video de Regina Spektor. Én los días previos, las calles se llenan de polvos de diversos colores, que según la creencia popular, llevarán alegría a quién los compre.

La extraña tradición tiene un sentido medicinal, ya que los polvos están hechos de hierbas medicinales que protegerán a los participantes de las enfermedades causadas por el cambio estacional.

TODAS LAS CULTURAS

ME GUSTAN TODAS LAS CULTURAS, PERO EN ESPECIAL LA HINDU, ME CAUSA UN SENTIMIENTO EXTRAÑO... COMO DE AÑORANZA...


QUIERO COMPARTIR ESTE POEMA QUE ME ENCONTRE POR LA RED, AUNQUE NI SIQUIERA SE SU NOMBRE:



There’s a race of men that don’t fit in,
A race that can’t stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will.
They range the field and they rove the flood,
And they climb the mountain’s crest;
Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood,
And they don’t know how to rest.

If they just went straight they might go far;
They are strong and brave and true;
But they’re always tired of the things that are,
And they want the strange and new.
They say: “Could I find my proper groove,
What a deep mark I would make!”
So they chop and change, and each fresh move
Is only a fresh mistake.

And each forgets, as he strips and runs
With a brilliant, fitful pace,
It’s the steady, quiet, plodding ones
Who win in the lifelong race.
And each forgets that his youth has fled,
Forgets that his prime is past,
Till he stands one day, with a hope that’s dead,
In the glare of the truth at last.

I find part is most interesting and close to me :
He has failed, he has failed; he has missed his chance;
He has just done things by half.
Life’s been a jolly good joke on him,
And now is the time to laugh.
Ha, ha! He is one of the Legion Lost;
He was never meant to win;
He’s a rolling stone, and it’s bred in the bone;
He’s a man who won’t fit in.
