STORIZEN CONTRIBUTE All the three police personnel smiled as they ate the food served by the two. Nandini felt happy. As a child, she had always thought of “Gulaal” as a happy color. But today, celebrating Holi along with the ones who brought Holi to her life, she knew that “Gulaal” indeed was the happiest color she had ever known. She could meet her friends and they all were of the same opinion as hers. By end of the day, they were all tired – to the core. But they were happy beyond words. “I know we have celebrated the same festival so many times in our lives together. But we met after such a long time and still made a huge difference. Thank You Guys, you are the most precious possession I have”, muttered Nandini lazily. “There goes our little emotional fool”, mumbled Kartik. Everyone burst out laughing as she shoved him jovially. She was glad. And Nandini wanted to keep this memory exactly like this in her mind forever. Ashwati Menon hails from Kerala but was born and brought up in Gujarat.
