Dewali Mela

Yesterday was one of my happiest days in a long time. I had gone to a Dewali Mella with my cousins. It was held at Rajouri garden in Gupta colony. Every year we have such celebration during Dewali. Massive crowd had gathered there this time. A troupe of Russian dancers gave us stunning performance. They were awarded the first time by the jury. Another group of actors staged a beautiful play on patriotism. The audience was thrilled. There were various stalls for eatables, toys, flowers, clothes etc. I bought a bouquet for my grandmother and a few toys for my sister.
