DIARY ENTRY

We got holidays on 10 January. With excitement, I thought of going to my extended family home with my parents. But unexpectedly, my parents said, “This Sankranti, we will not come with you. You should go to your aunt and uncle’s. You should go there alone.”

Then with a sad face, I went to my grandmother’s house. But when I went there, I completely forgot about my parents. I forgot my sadness. On Bhogi, we all cousins danced a lot on stage. The next day, on Makara Sankranti, we drew colorful rangoli. I also had lots and lots of fun on Kanuma. Later that day, I said byes to my grandparents, my cousins, and I returned to Guntur on train. When I got home, I told my parents about all my activities during Sankranti.
