Celebrations and happy

Teej, Vaisakhi and many more. But today I would like to share my views about
Dipawali; it is quite a religious background based festival. In the month of
October or November it is celebrated generally. We lighten our home, share
sweets among each other, worship god Rama, wear new clothes and take the oath
of becoming a truthful person in life like Rama. I really like the basic
ideology behind the festival that it is celebrated as the symbol of victory of
truth over evil. It certainly gives us a message that evil may be appearing
strong but at the end it has to lose from truth. Somewhere the religious
feelings of my loving Indians are respectfully associated with the God Rama.
They feel very happy and satisfied by doing these rituals at festival
Dipawali.

had for improving something at work or college. You should say: when and where
you had your idea, what your idea was, who you told about your idea and explain

Solution:
Ideas are worthy
especially when they are used for a great cause. I have always been a person of
leadership. There are many ideas that I thought and implemented in my so far
life and I am quite happy about it. Here
I would like to mention an idea because of that I got huge appreciation. In +2
class, I thought at the time of annual day celebration each and every work
should be done by students without any help from faculty so that they can groom
themselves. I shared it with my class in charge and later with principal sir.
Everyone took it gracefully and gave their green flag for this idea. Because of
this idea, all my students’ brothers and sisters started taking
responsibilities for making the function a grand success at their own level
while earlier they only used to attend the event. Now they were on leadership
positions. It is quite memorable and fulfilling experiencing for me.

wrote the script and made the whole team act on that concept. It was my job to
give them roles and inspire them to give their best. I played the role of a
policeman in that. It was on our social system like how active our social
system is. First prize was a trophy and 11,000/- cash prize and fortunately we
got the first prize. Along with it, we got recognition in the college because

performers could get the prizes. Certainly, it was clear to me that it would be
