If you happened to cross the Marymount University campus last week after playing Holi with some wary strangers in the park, you would have been thrilled to stumble on Marymount’s celebration of Holi, where white T-shirts were laid out with bags of colored powder for revelers to enjoy getting thoroughly saturated in color, gleefully throwing it at each other in a rite that symbolizes the end of winter and the beginning of spring, and then the hot season, in India. On campus, unlike in the park, Holi was fully embraced and joyfully celebrated, on people and poodles alike, a multicultural party that, like Halloween, is open to all.
