Lovin the bonfire, of course, because we don't get much of that here. Hard to light those things in snow.

But dude, where... are... the... COLOURS?! Where are the Amitabh-wannabees running through the streets of Hyd singing and dancing? Where are the ugly-faced politicians using the celebration as an excuse to make their posters even MORE pink?

Details, details! :)
