Vardavar

It was one big water fight, kids of all ages, boys and girls running around the city center fountain, splashing each other, taking pails of water and drenching their friends’ neighbors. It looked like so much fun, I had to join in. And I did without knowing, as soon as the kids saw a “foreigner’’, they ran up one by one to throw water onto me- war was declared! After about an hour of senseless splashing I had to call it quits, and while drying off on the sidelines, I saw that even some of the adults were getting in on the innocent battle. Reborn, revitalized, and finally washed and dried, I was ready to carry on.
