Holi with AIESEC in Delhi University!

(I-Newswire) March 17, 2010 - Holi has always been one of the most popular Indian festivals, celebrated with equal gusto by young and aged alike. It is about more than simply the festivities and the colour - it is the sense of liberty and freedom, and to a great extent, democracy, associated with the festival that makes the occasion such a favourite. Holi witnesses a 'coming together' of sorts; it has the kids with unlimited access to their parents' credit cards getting pummelled by water balloons thrown by the staff children, and for once, the action stands warranted. Even if the activities are small scale, even if they are mere occurrences within a certain sector in Noida, the fact stands that this festival has the brilliant ability to bridge several gaps - cultural, economic, linguistic - even if it is simply momentarily.

This Holi, celebrated on the 1st of March, 2010, witnessed a bridging of gaps like no other. A certain part of New Delhi saw the coming together of interns from various parts of the globe, armed with weapons of their own participation, so as to celebrate the festival with the members of AIESEC in Delhi University. To call the experience surreal might seem to be a bit of an over-ration. However, to look upon the ease with which different cultures, ethnicities and colours, shed their inhibitions in order to live a moment, and live it to the fullest, till the generally evident tones of their skins were rendered the same stubborn pink and green, demands that the occasion be called nothing but.

AIESEC is an international, non profit, non political, independent, youth run organization, present in 110 countries across the globe, striving to facilitate international internships so as to provide students and graduates enriching global experiences as well as expand their horizons by helping them cross cultural gaps. AIESEC in Delhi University saw a massive success in this respect on Holi day, as every kind of cultural gap was bridged in the face of the fervour as well as the energy. Like I mentioned before, the day was more than simply about the festivities and the colours - it was a moment which gave us a glimpse of an Utopian Society. Undivided. Globalized.
