On a Rainy Day But now, everything has changed. We don’t have to wake up early and get ready to go to
There are various seasons like summer, winter and monsoon but out of all these ,my
favorite season is the monsoon or the rainy season. There are many members in my
family since I live in a joint family. My cousins and I wait all year round for rainfall and
when we get the first showers of rain , our eyes sparkle with joy. On the first day of rains ,
we run out of the house in the rain giggling , dancing and smiling with delight . It feels so
refreshing after the hot summer days to take natural showers of rain .
We like to play in the garden as the rain pours on us. We sing songs and jump in the
muddy puddles splashing water on each other. My younger cousin loves to play in the
sticky mud, make balls out of it and Splash on us. Our respective mothers always shout
at us but we just like to ignore and enjoy the lovely rain. I hate it when the rain stops and
we have to get back inside . That’s the boring part of it . My mother cooks moong dal and
onion pakoras with mint chutney on these rainy days and I love this combination of cool
rainy days and hot onion pakoras.
Enjoying the rain with my cousins is the best part about the rainy season . We have so
much fun together. Rainy season will always be my favorite.

Those Were The Days
Everyday we used to wake up early in the morning , get ready and go to school . While
going to the classroom , I would meet all my friends in the corridor. We used to sit
together, talk to each other , play games before the assembly . As soon as the bell rang,
we would be all quiet and get ready for the school assembly. During the time when
school assembly was held on the school ground , there were two or three students who
would faint and teachers would help them walk back to the classroom. After the school
assembly , the class teacher would come to our and the first thing she did was mark the
attendance. All the teachers would come to the class and teach us their respective
subjects. There is always a naughty child in a class who would annoy teachers and
teachers hated being disturbed while they gave their lesson.
After the fourth period, we would have recess. I think recess was the most favourite part
of all the students during school time . We would run out of the class after the recess bell.
I would meet my friends from other classes, Have snacks together , crack jokes and
giggle , play games etc . The boys loved to run around or play football. End of recess
was the saddest part as we had to go back to studying. School would be done for the day
after another four periods. After a short prayer ,we would walk in a straight line towards
the bus.on the way to the bus , I would say bye to all my friends and teachers.
school. Due to the pandemic covid19, a lot of things have changed drastically. Classes
have become online where teachers teach us through the Internet using a mobile phone
or a laptop. We cannot meet our teachers or friends personally. There is no recess , no
talking or playing with friends in school . Not just that , we as children can’t even go out
of the house. Everyday after my online classes, I think to myself , those were the days .
Those were the amazing days .

Christmas
Christmas is a festival which is celebrated every year on 25th December. It is a day when
Lord Jesus Christ was born . A few days before this day, all Catholics decorate their
houses with different decorations like , putting up a Christmas tree,putting colorful lights
for the house, putting up stars with a light bulb inside , bells and making the crib. I love
decorating my Christmas tree with lights , bells and stars. Everyone’s houses look very
beautiful with all the decorations during the Christmas season. huge cribs are made in
every village and are displayed from Christmas Day. Not only houses but churches and
chapels as well are decorated with beautiful colourful lights. Me and my family go for
midnight mass every Christmas. Kids and youngsters from our village go to every house
and sing carols . I love singing Christmas carols. During this season different kinds of
sweets are made like Nevrios, kulkul, cake , marzipan, dodol, baath etc. and it is no
surprise if you have gained a little weight during the Christmas season . Christmas is a
festival of sharing and living in peace with our friends and family and I love this festival
the most .
