It was a time when I was in 18 and this was about my sister's marriage, the middle one. At that time she was going to get married and we were celebrating at my home. It was a night when we were all making sweets. Usually in my village we make our marriage sweets because we are not telling anyone and we are not hiring any caretakers. We make everything and our relatives make everything for them. It was a time when we were all making sweets together and immediately the DJ was playing and my sister started dancing. She was doing a funny dance and everyone was laughing. It was the best memory I ever had in my life. Everyone enjoyed a lot and even today we talk about the same things and we laugh today as well. It was a funny moment in my life.

It was a very rejoicing occasion for us because he had reached a milestone of his life which is very crucial. He was immensely moved and surprised and he was very happy with all the arrangements and celebrations and the wishes. I personally prepared some handmade gifts for him. They included a diary which was for his words of wisdom. I asked him to pass it on to his grandchildren and our future generations.

During my visit to Rajasthan in 2022, we as a family went there to travel, to tour there. It was our first time as a family and as an individual in a different state like Rajasthan. Rajasthan is beautiful, it's big, it has lights, colours, everything in it. It is a more tourism-attracted place and it is where most of the Indians and foreigners like to travel. Because it has such an amazing history and forts and beautiful palaces and places to visit. So we as a family went there and we were having a gala of time. Us laughing and continuously making and cracking jokes on each other or any situation. As we were there in a shop and the shopkeeper got the wrong shoe size. And my dad and my dad thought that it was my mom who told that it was his size. But it was actually miscommunication between my mom, my dad and the shopkeeper. So he gave us the wrong shoe size and etc. And we came back to the hotel and we checked and my mom and my dad were laughing so hard. Because it was a kid's shoe size rather than my dad's shoe size. And we were cracking jokes and we were like, oh how did it get here, where is my shoe, where is everything. And then we checked that the shopkeeper accidentally gave us two pairs, the red one and also my dad. Because my dad also bought it.

There are many occasions when people gather together with a friend and family, enjoy themselves, such occasions are typically filled with laughter and joy. One such occasion where I witnessed quite a few people laugh and smiling was the wedding of a close relative of mine. On this auspicious occasion, everyone from a distant cousin to my immediate family member was present. Since weddings are known to be exuberant and lively events, everyone present at this wedding was cheerful and the atmosphere was joyous. The main reason everyone present was smiling was obviously because of the new journey that my cousin was about to embark on and she had all prayers and well wishes for her future. Marriage itself is a moment's step in a person's life and everyone expects their family and relatives to support them in moving forward with such a delicious cause. Fortunately, our entire family was quite elaborate when my cousin decided to tie the knot with her partner as they had childhood friends. Eventually, the bride and groom family became quite close over the years. Thus, both families were delighted with this union and they're feeling very clear their cheerful, smiling faces.

Few days ago we all went to an amusement park. We were very happy and excited about going there and reaching there we were given bands and that band created a tag like we are in and we were very excited to go there. We were all a group of five members and we went. After a long time I had got into a giant wheel. It was very fun. Standing in a queue it made me very tense and I was anxious that what if I am someone who is scared of heights so what if I am scared there and what if our giant wheel got stuck there. But eventually when we went and the experience as a whole it was very thrilling and happy. All of my friends there were people who got into the giant wheel for the first time also. That was very fun. We all kept laughing, chatting, shouting and no one was there who could hear. Everybody was busy in their own things. Everybody was shouting. Everybody was very excited to get into that. After that we all had food which was very delicious and after that tiring experience the food was a must.

This is my story when I was in 3rd grade and it was the first time my mother said that I should try competing in some competition for speaking and it was a competition of speaking some Sanskrit slokas and it was something that I didn't knew and I was not aware of them. As it was something very new for me, I was even more stretch frightened for that and as I always was afraid of standing on a stage and talking about anything in front of many people but when I saw my parents smiling from the stage, I got happy. I was not afraid anymore and as soon as I saw that the winner's name was being announced, I was very scared because I knew that I didn't do that good but still I wasn't that bad. So, my mother said that don't get scared, it was the first time competing but as soon as the name PURVADHANGA got called out on the stage, I was so happy that I couldn't even see what was happening. I was completely unconscious, something like in my imaginative world and when I went to the stage, I could see my parents and my siblings smiling the whole time as they called my name and I got to the stage to take the award. It was a really beautiful memory for me.

I still remember this day like it has happened yesterday. So it was last year, 2024, when I had celebrated my 24th birthday and I was surrounded by my few very close friends and my family members and I remember they were wholeheartedly laughing and smiling and just jiggling around and I was celebrating my 24th birthday in a very cozy environment at a cafe and I decided to invite my close friend as well as my family members so they were all very happy and they were smiling because of the fact that I had turned 24 and I'm adult now and they were all so very happy for the fact that I have now grown up and became an independent woman who has started her own business and they were all really happy with my outcomes and I remember their smile was so genuine, out of heart, full of love. Moreover, they were also smiling over the fact that we all are still very close from high school days and I still remember these days as if it has happened yesterday and I was so happy that I feel like I'm gonna remember this 24th birthday of my, this 24th birthday of myself for the rest of the year because it is such, because it has been such a momentous moment in my life and I think I'm gonna forever carry this in my heart with the gratitude, with the love and with a very warm, kind heart and I was so thankful for the gifts and the letters that I received on my 24th birthday and I hope this tradition to continue forever.

See, there are many occasions in my life where I smile a lot with my well-beings and my friends. So, recalling such occasions where we laughed is tricky for me. But recently, when I completed my last examination of my college for degree, we friends were gathered at a place and were discussing about the exam, how was the exam. So, one of my friends just cracked the joke that he completed his paper one hour before and he was just helping others by giving them the wrong answer of the MCQs. So, one of my friends really laughed, shouted and laughed a lot. So, hearing him, seeing him laugh, others also started laughing. So, we were continuously laughing for like 2-3 minutes. So, that was a moment where I also laughed a lot. So, recalling such moments where you are laughing is difficult for me because I laugh a lot. I laugh a lot with my friends. I crack jokes with them. I am a joyful person. So, I like smiling and cracking jokes with others. And we do laugh at home also.

Here I would like to talk about an occasion when many people were smiling is none other than my cousin sister's wedding. Her name is Sarana. She is working as a software engineer in Ernakulam. Last year, I think this September month, September 8th was her wedding day. One week before me and my whole family are gathered here and the wedding party conducted on three days. The first day was Sankirt day, the second day was Haldi and the third day was the wedding day. We celebrated her wedding day. That was her dream because they are in relationship with almost six years. I think six years they are in relationship. Finally, that relationship turned into marriage. That was her dream. So, we and my whole family are very happy. We are over the moon because she married her dream guy.
