My First Holi!

 I was recently blessed to get a chance to be part of one of the most loved festivals of our country.Yes,I am talking about the 'Festival of Colours' also famously known as the Holi Festival.It is so fascinating how all gather together at one place and spread the message of love and unity.They consist of men,women and children.Even senior citizens are respectfully invited here.There is no bar of caste,religion,color and income to attend this festival.This festival becomes more delightful when different people or somewhat strangers come together with an open heart and a hand full of organic colours to throw at each other.




 


On a lighter note,it becomes very difficult to recognize each other after people throw various colors at each other.The celebrations are accompanied with devotional or cultural songs.Undoubtedly,children love this festival a lot and yearn for it even before 2-3 months of it's arrival.I recently came across a kid who asked his father during January when will the festival come.His father replied"Beta 2 mahine baaqi hain" which meant have patience,there is still 2 months left for Holi to arrive😄.Wishing all the readers a very safe and happy holi!😊😊

Playing Cricket in the rain

A Day Of Cricket in the rain!☔☔  Hey!I hope all the readers are interested in cricket like me and how more beautiful can the game be when played in the rain!!.It was during monsoon when me and my friends planned to play cricket outdoors.We knew that the ball may not bounce due to the dampness in the ground but yet the idea of playing cricket in the rain was fun for all of us. As our vacations were going on,we had breakfast at 8'oclock and by 10,all of us reached the ground.Many wore dirty and old clothes as they knew it will anyways get spoilt in the rain.The coin was tossed and we lost the toss and had to bowl first.It was very surprising that we started getting wickets in the first over itself! Normally,we used to get the first wicket after 3-4 overs.The main reason for the early wickets was the wet pitch due to which the ball bounced lower and used to hit the stump instead of the bat. The match was going interesting with 5 wickets being taken in just a matter of 4 overs.Our team

Memorable outing with friends!

 Summer Vacations have started,and now it is time for many students like me to start planning their vacations.Some may want to visit their hometown or grandparents,whereas some would like to spend in home playing games.Then there comes another set of people which would like to roam and explore during the holidays. Vacations had begun recently and we all were excited to make the outing plans .Some of my friends suggested to go camping whereas most of us were content to go for outdoor activities like hiking etc.After considerable discussion and feasiblity studies we decided we would go for bowling and then later we would go for few water rides.If time and money would permit,we would also buy coffee or some eatables and have them near the beach.Hence with high hopes and adventurous spirits,we trode off the journey towards our first step,the bowling center. The bowling center had an incredible atmosphere!There was noise and excitement all around,as many other teams of adults and children h

Dinner with my Cricket Buddies!

 It was during the summer vacations when we used to get to play more than regular days as the sunlight was available for an extra hour or so.This was a boon for us and also we had planned to eat dinner together someday.It so happened that my friend Praveen had come for vacations to town too thus I was delighted to spend my time with him.After the match on a Friday evening,we all sat discussing which restaurant to have dinner at,everyone bring some money along that day.There were many options from Soha Restaurant,Ghasitaram Halwai and Chandni Chowk.But to us,Al Jood Restaurant near the Al khuwair park was feasible.Many of us had just looked at the restaurant from outside not that it was a luxury restaurant but it's location was quite good considering the park nearby.We were 8 friends and had shawarma and orange juice.To end the meal,we had an aloo paratha from the baker.The whole meal costed us around 5 rials.(including praveen's petrol charges which were 1 rial/person).Thanks f
