THE DIARY GAME 3/08/2020 MONDAY, AUGUST

Hello everyone,
Namaste to everyone today is a special festival of my country(India) that is rakhi , also celebrated in many other countries.

MORNING
Today I woke up early in the morning at 6'o clock. I helped my mummy with the household chores like brooming, moping, doing utensils, washing clothes as the maids are not able to come (due to the COVID_19 virus being spread outside) and cleaning the house. Then we all(Mom, Dad, Me, My younger sister) got freshen up and wore our newest and nicest of clothes. We all together did puja and tied rakhis to each other.

As we couldn't go out and nobody was allowed to come. We really missed our cousins brothers and sisters and other relatives too, whom we used to rakhi and had fun with them. Although we sent and received rakhis through post but that was not that much fun having like we used to gather and did the celebration.

It is believed that rakhi is a festival of brothers and sisters, where sister ties a rakhi in his brother's wrist, where in return brother promises her sister to always keep her safe. The reality being that any girl or woman can tie rakhi to any boy or man whom she sees as her protector. Even a wife can also tie rakhi to her husband. Our history proves of this. But tying of rakhi by a sister to brother is from when there was freedom fighting going on and the ladies of my country came forward to tie rakhi to our freedom fighters who protected them and also making a bond of brotherhood across all over the country to show unity among its people.

AFTERNOON
So, it is almost noon time i.e. 12'o clock we all have taken breakfast of the delicious puri(a type of chapati deep fried in oil), aloo sabji(vegetable),_ sewai ki kheer_ (a sweet dish prepared mainly with milk and vermicelli). It was prepared by me, my mom along with my sister. Now, after eating and celebrating at home it is a nap time as we all are tired and need some rest. Eating these things make you more tired. So we all rested and woke up at around 4'o clock in the evening.

EVENING
In the evening we video called our relatives and had much fun. The video call technology gets you all closer being in the different parts of the world. It doesn't feel like you are staying far away from your family. It was much fun talking to everyone. It's a saying that When you share your happiness, it increase and that became true today as we all laughed and enjoyed with each other being distant apart. Now, its night time we all have had our dinner. Watched a show (Taarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma) and now going to sleep after whole day of enjoyment and celebration.
