My Village Trip
Feeling good after a long break.I went to my village in Orissa. I spent my wonderful days there. I went there by bus, and I saw long and large trees all around along the road side. Everything was green becuase of rains. It was looking as if we are entering to the jungle. After crossing that junglee area, we came to a small and cool place and that was my village. My village was surrounded by farm lands where the new rice crops grew. There is a river crossing in between that farm where we bath.
I enjoyed a lot there. I, with my two brother, samir and munna enjoyed a lot. We went to see the biggest fair of that region and enjoyed the durga puja and dussehera. We did swimming in the river and sometime we use to catch the fish with the fish net. We played cricket match with the village people. We even had lots of eatables, sweets etc and lots............
It was really a nice time.

Puri offers a number of colourful fairs and festivals such as Chandan Yatra, Snan Yatra (Bath festival), Ganesh Puja, etc., but it is the Car Festival, an annual sojourn of the three deities riding their lofty chariots to their respective huge cars--14 metres high, 10 metres square and supported on 16 giant wheels, each over two metres in diametre that marks the climax. These chariots or Rathas are pulled along the Bada Danda or the Grand Road by lakhs of devotees to Gundicha temple over a kilometre. At Gundicha the deities take new apparels every day and after a lapse of 8 days return to the main shrine riding the same Rathas. At the termination of the Yatra, the cars are broken up into pieces and religious relics are made from them. Thus, every year new chariots are built. The images of the dieties are also disposed of at intervals of 8 to 19 years, depending on astrological calculations, and new images are installed as prescribed in the religious text. The Rath Yatra symbolizes Krishna's departure to Mathura from Gokul.
Yesterday, we had our WCM exam (working capital management), which was quite O.K. After our exam it was party time, coz it was the last exam before puja holiday and ppl are also going to their home. So we all friends went out for enjoyment last evening. We went for shopping and then had a nice dinner. Thanks god, its not our Mess!!!
