Every year before Eid al-Fitr, my people and individuals in this country start going around, running over malls, shops and stores to find specific ingredients that they would need to bake biscuits known as kahak. You may ask, why is it this important? Why do people go out of their way just to bake some biscuits? Simply, it's just biscuits. And the thing behind it would be the gathering. What really makes it special is how you see the whole family member just coming together, spending quality time chatting and laughing and joking while creating some delicious homemade desserts. It's a moment or it's a way to send joy and good vibes around. It helps us to connect and get away from our busy life and take a break for a while. It gives the holidays meaning, it's magic. And honestly, it's my favorite thing out of the whole thing. I tried learning how to join this event since last year and eventually I got better, gradually better. I started creating new styles and she is with the biscuit and even maybe picked up a new hobby.

Band 5-6

India is the land of festivals and my favorite festival of all is Holi and I would like to consider it my favorite tradition as well because it makes everything look so beautiful and enchanting with colors flowing in the air and people just having fun, dancing on music, playing with water and just enjoying themselves. There are some bad things about this festival as well when people just throw water balloons on vehicles while traveling which is not safe at all. I remember when I was walking on the road and somebody randomly threw a water balloon at me and I had something very important to be and well, I was wet. That sounds wrong.
