Dear diary,
As you know I share everything with you on regular basis. Yesterday I had the most special experience
of my life. I never had such a beautiful experience before. Actually Yesterday I went to the Craft Mela at
Suraj Kund which was more impressive and grand than what I had imagined. This year ‘ The state’ was
Rajasthan. The whole campus was painted with the visuals of Ranthambore , Chittor And Jodhpur. It was
mini India assembled on a few hundred acres of land. All Many countries, more particularly Pakistan,
Nepal and Afghanistan gave it an international look. Every evening there were cultural shows at the
Chaupal and the Rangmanch. The food court provided all kinds of delicacies for food lovers. It was
really an adventure day for me. I would share it with my best friend because both of us share everything
to each other. Now it is time to sleep. But first, I would have to take a glass of milk before sleeping. Ok,
bye. Goodnight.
