The great day has finally arrived. We have been reading about this A to Z Challenge for the last three weeks. There was a mixed reaction....some days were full of hope that I will be able to achieve something. Some days so many doubts cropping up. To write or not to write, was the biggest concern!!
Ultimately, a light, a destination, strong will power and a bright light in the end of a tunnel has motivated me to go ahead. Move on !! Move on!! Move on!! came a voice from the innermost cord of my heart. All doubts have disappeared. After playing with my thought on various themes, I have come to a conclusion.
My theme for the challenge will be "Festivals of India".
Our country, being a secular State has so much diversity. Whether it is food,dress, customs,or festivals;there is unity in this diversity.
I have decided to write on 'Festivals of India"There are so many festivals,but our knowledge is restricted to those which we celebrate. In this A to Z, I have made an effort to explore the purpose behind the festival, the legend behind it and how it is celebrated.
I hope the readers will enjoy reading and will get a peek into the details of various festivals
Festivals always bring smile on my face! <3 I am looking forward for your posts!
