Despite a string of soggy weekends in the San Francisco Bay Area in April, the last Sunday of the month saw Basant springing out in colourful confetti abandon at the gracious home of Trishla Jain and Satyan Gajwani. It was a veritable joy factory as the West Coast’s best and brightest of all ages gathered to celebrate Holi, in essence and spirit, with nach-gaana, mazaa-masti and, of course, the chatpata chaat delights that go with it.

The festivities spanned three generations, and true to the hosts’ beliefs, the 350 invitees were united by the quality of their hearts rather than the conventional totems of Silicon Valley suitability. As Aditya Agarwal, their friend and founder of South Park Commons, put it, “There’s a lot of Holi events in the Bay Area, but it’s hard to capture the real essence of Holi, from India. Trishla and Satyan do it better than anyone else.”
