Hot pink shoes are all the rage
Photo taken in mid-March. Almost two weeks after Holi, fashion trends on Indian streets were still affected. This autowallah’s “Holi ka jute” went from white to bright pink. Permanently.

Jabalpur 2002
We’ve got less than two weeks until Holi, and I might be getting a little excited.
