Diwali is my favourite festival. It is a festival of lights and joy. Houses, shops and all other buildings are decorated with the lamps at night. Almost everyone in India celebrates this festival. The people whitewash and paint their homes before 1 U'opawali. They wear new clothes and buy new utensils. Children are thrilled with lights, crackers and sweets. They wear new clothes, sing and dance and enjoy sweets and leasts.

Although I have many friends in India I have always wished for a friend who lives in a foreign country. The other day I was reading the magazine "Times" and I came across the addresses of various children all over the world who want to make pen friends. I looked for a name and country that I liked. I wanted a pen friend in the United States of America as I found the culture of that country very different from ours. Finally I found the address of Jane Adams who lives in San Francisco.

He never comes to the school without a tie around his neck. He says that a physically smart person is always mentally smart. His dress shows how much care he takes in creating a total effect of his personality.
