happy holi 2 those who celebrate && those who don't !!!! in regards of my favorite indian tradition , i decided to make a small post of what i did in my royalty dr sinceeee yes !!! although it's 8PM on wednesday , holi is 4eva !!! okay , we up .
it's officially morning on the best day ever , holi !! my kingdom celebrates this tradition like an indian wedding since it's the rajkumaree ( me ! )'s favorite tradition . the streets are filled with holi raang && flowers . neighbors exchange sweets and kids wake up early in the morning to get ready for the color battles outside their homes . vendors introduce their special occasion menus , the one with food like dahi puri and thandai . oh how i love thandai and dahi puri . . . anyways , this is the tradition of color and celebration , so everyone wears their white clothes in the morning and brightest attire at night when they visit their relatives or friends for a gathering . well , all this happens before the grand dance at the end of the night , held in the kingdom's own courtyard and everyone is invited . it doesn't matter who you are , where you're from , how old you are . you are invited and even encouraged to come play . most people find their lifelong friends at this event , or even the person they'll spend the rest of their lives with . but most of all , this day is when everyone can forget their worries and let the colors blur all their troubles away .
me personally though ? on this day ? i make sure to wake up extra early , just like the kids in the districts . i get ready on my own , since all the workers in the kingdom are given a day off today and for the rest of the week so they can celebrate with their families . the ones who don't have families to rely on for company always has the royalty's shoulders . they can spend their time working , even if it is suggested not to , they can relish in the sun in the royal gardens if they are willing to . we understand why and where everyone is coming from , we are open to all conditions . anyways , i wear something white for the mornings . a nice white lehenga perhaps . this is what i wore this morning , actually !
like isn't it so cute !! after , i wake up rani ( my tiger !! ) . i love my girl , she's there with me for everythinggg and is my #1 . anyways , every morning i eat breakfast with my family , food cooked by the chefs . and today's not so different , except my mom , dadi , and nani are all cooking together because the chefs aren't here . they're having fun , laughing and enjoying their time together . all my family is here , my uncles and aunts from both sides of the families , my cousins even ! it's a full kingdom , every room is taken by someone . it's like an indian wedding and you're a family member , so that means you have to be cramped with ten other cousins in the same room . i do try to help out , but i rather be in the gardens instead of being asked why i'm not married yet . jokingly for now , but who knows when that'll change , am i right ? so i go out in the gardens , peering over the gates to watch the people of my kingdom enjoy my favorite tradition . it's the best sight ever . and then i hear it . . .
so basically , someone else is also visiting us and has been staying with us for a while now . and he is the most annoying prince on earth ! it's the italian prince , the middle one . he has two other brothers who look just like him , and an older brother . but this one in particular , there's something wrong about him . he's the reason we got lost in the village one night , even though i have the village memorized like the back of my bedroom . he's also dirty , in the underground boxing secret prince sense . because that's what he is . so when i hear him offer some help to let me watch easier without trouble , of course i stop watching out of spite . he's wearing this white kurta that i had to choose for him the night before because he apparently ' can't pick ' . i think it was a trick to be alone with me , maybe steal my jewelry or sucker punch me , but i'm not sure . i'm already irritated , and he's talking about how we both are matching now which makes it worse . does he not know everyone wears white ??? is he stupid ???
after breakfast with the family ( and the prince . . . ) , my cousins and i play with the colors in the courtyard . for some reason all my cousins favor the prince , i still don't understand why , and invite him . i'm not sure why ! they do and he completely ignores me . i'm standing there , waiting for him to acknowledge me , but he doesn't . it's awful ! he keeps throwing color at my cousins and laughing with them , and he won't even bare to give me a glance . so that's why i made my smart decision to dump water on him . yes . i dumped water on him . but that's what everyone does during holi ! my cousins are dying laughing , my parents are mortified , my uncles are astonished , and my aunts are bewildered . the prince however ? he simply faces me with the most evil smile on his face !!! he's onto something !!! but nobody believes me !!! at first , i think he won't do anything about it and just stand there . and then i'm proven wrong . he HUGS me . he wraps his dirty arms around my pristine body and gets his wet hair to drip water on me !!!! it's the worst !!! he's the worst !!! i shriek and EVERYONE suddenly starts laughing !!!! this is horrible !!!!
when i say i ran up the stairs to my room , i mean it . i ran !!! up there !!! and got in the bath !!! because ew !??!?! between my escape and the event at night hosted by my parents , not much happens . we eat lunch as a family ( the prince ignores me !!! ) , i visit town for snacks ( the prince doesn't come with me !!! ) , i feed rani ( the prince isn't there !!! ) , and etc etc etc . yet , while i am doing my hair for the event , the prince finally climbs up my balcony again ( like usual ) in his underground boxing secret prince attire ( like usual ) . he does this often , so i'm sure my time hasn't come and he's only here to see me since he claims my presence is enough luck in itself . don't let the charm fool you . he is evil . this time though , i ask him why he's not going to the event . he tells me he assumed i didn't want him there . i never said that !!! what is he thinking ?!?!? i shrug it off and let him go , because i'm not chasing anyone ??? but i think he can tell i wanted him there because he ended up showing face at the event in this amazing kurta . well , back to the attention on me . . . this is what i wore !!
is it not just utterly divine ?? the event goes well . my friends from town come , my friends from other kingdoms show face , and my cousins and i just have the best time that night . we dance , we twirl , we get our henna done by professionals . we eat and drink , we laugh and sing . it's the best ! they played all the right music through out the night . couples had their private moments , well not so private since they were dancing in front of everyone's eyes , but still . friends also had their times to jump around and giggle with color in their hair and happiness in their eyes . i had so much fun , and i am sure the rest of the kingdom did as well .
that's not where my night ended though . because the prince can NOT leave me alone !!! when the event was done and i was standing in my balcony , relaxing in the night breeze , he climbs up my balcony again . for some reason , he can't take the cue . . . or the door !!! when i ask him why he's there , he swipes some color on my face . ON . MY . FACE . and what color is it ??? red . and he says " happy holi , principessa " . well , how about you go to sleep !!! oh my god . . . get this man OUT of my eyesight . oh dear . the sleep i had right after , when i went to bed for the night , was out of this world . i think it was how tired i was or how he might have cursed me with his touch . not sure !
