Happy Diwali!

 Today is the main day of Diwali. I made a song for Diwali. Here it is below.

Happy Diwali!

 This week is Diwali and many Indians will celebrate the victory of good over evil. On Diwali, they light up diyas and make rangoli patterns to welcome the goodes of wealth, MahaLaksmi. They also make mouth watering sweets, which I am sure you will love. Here are some sweets and other foods our family made.

A Perfect Day for a Sunday

Yesterday, on Sunday my family had to celebrate a cultural festival called Rakshabandhan. We made necklaces out of flowers that me and my sister picked from our garden, and then put them on the statues of our God in our house. We did a red dot on the statue's forehead which is called a "chandlo". Usually you do that on your brother, but since I didn't have a brother, we did on the statues of my God. On Rakshabandhan we tie a special bracelet decorated with some patterns and decorations on our brother's wrist to ask for  protection by the brother and in return, the brother has to give a gift back to the sister.We celebrated it all together and it was fun because having family time isn't usual for us.

 I like lockdown because I love Zoom Meetings and Google Meets, we can still chat with friends, more family time, and I love doing my schoolwork at home! But at the same time, I kind of miss playing games with my friends and our teachers, and our swimming! We had lockdown in the middle of our swimming lessons! 

After that, me and my sister, helped our parents do some work in the garden. Altogether, we mowed the lawn, cut down trees and picked flowers, helped to carry big and heavy branches from the cut down trees, and at last after I was tired, I played a bit with my sister. Then after, me and my sister talked to our dad's cousin sister because she called my dad. Some time later, we had a delicious lunch and I made necklaces and decorations out of beads and my sister helped me. Then I did some crochet. I had a fun doing all those things. Then came the best part of the day, I got my hair cut! me and my sister got our hair cut by our dad since it is lockdown and we can't go out. Everyone thought I looked different. But I don't think so!
