Dear Shilpi,

I hope you had a great time celebrating the Pongal festival. This time, I went to my village for the festival holidays. It was the happiest and most memorable time of my life. This is something I’ll never forget. You live in the city, so a festival is a holiday for you, and you can sleep in. Then eat all of your mother’s delicacies and go see a new release movie or watch television at home. They gather in a common area in the village to celebrate. They all get up early and participate fully in the rituals. As a sign of gratitude, all the ladies make pongal and offer it to the Sun God.

We went to the fair on the third day of the festival and played on the giant wheel and merry-go-round. We ate a variety of freshly prepared native delicacies such as raw mango with chilli powder and salt, palmyra sprouts, various types of vada, appam, and so on. We then watched dancers perform traditional folk dances. We also went to the river, where we swam and then took a bath. I just took a bath because I didn’t know how to swim. We spent time observing and being in nature. It was a great time! The joy of a village’s festival celebrations is truly unforgettable.

Yours friendly,

Pooja

Dear Manju,

Hope you celebrated the Pongal festival with great joy. I went to my village for the festival holidays this time. It was the most joyous and memorable period of my life. I shall never forget this. You live in city and for you a festival means a holiday and you can wake up late. Then eat all the delicacies prepared by your mum and go for a new released movie or watch television at home. Here in village, they gather in a common place and celebrate. All of them rise early and actively participate in the rituals. All the ladies make pongal and offer it to Sun God as a mark of thanksgiving.

On the third day of festival, we went to fair and played on giant wheel and merry-go-round. We ate lots of fresh made native delicacies like raw mango with chilli powder and salt, palmyra sprout, vada of different varieties, appam, etc. Then we watched the dancers performing folk dances. We also went to the river, to swim and then bathe in the water. Since I didn’t know swimming, I just took a bath. Time was spent observing and being with nature. It was full of fun! The joy of celebrating festivals in a village is truly unforgettable

Yours friendly, Deepa
