Powdered Paint: The Great Equalizer

Holi 2011—it happened just this morning in front of Pupin! Scores of Columbia students gathered to engage in the powdered paint fight that is Holi, a whimsically carefree Hindu celebration of spring. This Bwogger (post-shower, thankfully—that paint is super hard to get out of your hair!) can honestly say that the sense of Columbia community at this event was palpable. Participants even broke out into a chorus of “Roar, Lion, Roar!” Seriously guys, when does that ever happen?! Enjoy the photos, friends. If you missed out, make sure you check it out next year!

Diwali, With A Chance of Free Food

Diwali_lampThe Hindu Student Organization/Ahimsa’s Diwali Celebration is sold out, but enter your name on the waitlist and you’ll still have a chance of free food come 8:00. Also, Bwogger Anish Bramhandkar hears from inside sources that eventually doors will be opened to everyone. If ye be patient, be fed!
