The festival of lights

Diwali for me had always been about Puja and then bursting crackers. But, this time I did two new things that I thoroughly enjoyed. So, here I am sharing the pictures of the end products!
So, the first thing I did was painting diyas. It was a pretty simple thing to do! I first gave a white colour to the diyas, let it dry and then finally painted it with vibrant colours. So, given below are some of the diyas that I painted.  :)

The next thing that I did was make a rangoli. Now, we always make rangoli infront of our door on Diwali. But, earlier I used to only draw the rangoli and my mum used to fill in the colours. This time, I not just drew the rangoli's design but also filled in the colours. I was pretty satisfied with the end product as it was my first attempt! 

So, thats the rangoli! 

Had loads of fun making that! :D 

Thats all for today! Will be back soon! :)

My Diary

Maintaning a personal diary is such a bliss! Going through it at the end of a year makes you realise the enormous amount of changes that a single event, incident or a year brings in you! It also makes you realise that life is like a pendulum... Sometimes you feel the pain of disappointment and sometimes you feel the sweetness of joy!

Many people don't maintain diaries because they are lazy.. I used to always maintain diaries for the first few months of a year. But, this time I have maintained my diary right till the end of the year(courtesy : my aunt cause she got me a Harry Potter diary. How can one not maintain that? :P)

Flipping through it's pages I feel as if it was only yesterday when I was freaking out before my first elocution or I was cheering Kolkata knight riders during their finals!

It's a great feeling! And such a beautiful experience when you can go back to the past without using a time turner! ;)

So, I strongly recommend that each one of you should maintain a diary from 2013 onwards! You'll thank me!

Fete @ Loyola School, Bhubaneswar

If you weren't there, you missed out on a lot of fun!
I am in ninth standard and we are supposed to be volunteering in the Children's Day Fete. I had always dreaded volunteering because I thought that I wouldn't be able to enjoy the fete if I volunteered. However, this fete turned out to be the best!
It was truly the best experience of fete. There was a lot of work, music, fun and yes, dance! My friends and I were working at the song dedication stall. During our first shift, everything was going slowly. When the unexpected second shift began, we didn't have time to breathe! We were trying to plug similar song requests together and we were all screaming on top of our voices!
Towards the end, the tenthers set fire to the dance floor. We played Gangnam Style atleast a dozen time. We all went down to dance. We danced till the fete ended!
It was a great experience. Tiring, but exhilarating.. Looking forward to more such wonderful experiences...!!!
