HOLI
Dear diary,
Yesterday
was the most exciting day ever! I finally got to go to Holi again. The day
before [21st of march 2018] I woke up with the most biggest smile on
my face. I dressed up before my mum, my dad and my sister because I was just
too excited.
Me and my
family got in a taxi and went straight to the temple with our special clothes
on. I had that smile on my face, which was weird, until we got there. As we
entered the temple, the smell of food got into my nostrils. AHHHHHH! I am so
hungry. There, far in the distance my friend waved at me.
After a long
hour it was time for lunch, when the communities come together, lots of people
came around us and ate food. After we ate a big delicious meal, we started a
bonfire. We [Hindus] usually offer coconuts, chick peas and popcorn. We offer
these things to thank god for growing our crops.
If god didn’t
grow our crops, then we wouldn’t have the ability to feed our families. It was
time for colours. The colours represented elements. Green-love because god
bought love to the world, Red- power and orang is purity. Purity is given to
every person this world and power is strength given by god.
The king
tried to kill his son prahlad but Vishnu kept saving him and in the end hiryakashipu
was killed by Vishnu.
