Phagwa without water

So I decided to get the "holi" experience for the first time.  I have always been fascinated by the burst of colour when seeing Holi celebrations in India.  In Trinidad, we don't have spring, but phagwa has traditionally been celebrated by the descendants of East Indian immigrants.  It consists of mixing the coloured powder with water and spraying gleefully to all who dare come near the celebrations.  So what is phagwa doing on this blog?  It became a topic of interest due to the prolonged water problems we have been experiencing.  There have actually been calls to spray the powder without water in an effort to minimise water use.  In my limited (okay one) experiance, I must say there seemed to be a 50% use of powder only.  I don't know how this compares to previous years but it does prove that some people are taking heed.  Of course, there was no notice about how to remove all the colour from your hair and clothes without water!
