An Outdoor Festival In Winter In a Cold Climate

In Ayodhya, a city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, as I was walking in a fair during Dussera, a festival commemorating the death of the demon Ravana, I could see a humongous model of the demon in the middle, ready to get burnt. Around it were hundreds of stalls selling sweets, savouries, wooden toys, cloths etc. The place was covered with a mild blanket of mist. I could hear people chattering like a mob of sparrows as they walked, along with the playing of devotional songs and the sizzling of edible oil. I could sense the damp smell of the mist mixed with the aroma of oil and sweets. The cold air was poking my skin as I walked and I shivered as if in a deadly chill. As I was feeling as cold as a dog's nose, I had a cup of hot milk which tasted delicious. Finally, a man dressed up as Lord Rama, the slayer of demon Ravana shot a glaring arrow at the model of the demon, which sizzled to the ground like a bundle of burning grass. I felt relieved as I smelled the smoke and felt the cozy warmth of the fire.

Finally, I experienced a boost of energy as the people around shouted, 'Jay Sri Ram'.

In The Theme Park

When I got my ticket for the fair punched, a wave of excitement went up my heart. As I entered the theme park, I could see so many rides and activities, which made me indecisive about what to engage in first. I could see a roller coaster whizzing on a track with people raising their hands and screaming with thrill. 

The smell of chaat sizzled my nose as I walked past a stall selling it. I was tempted to try something. So, I had a plate of sev puri; I never tasted anything like it before. The sev puri seemed to give me an adrenaline push, so I rushed to the roller coaster. I could hear myself and the other riders in the roller coaster scream to the top of lungs as the wheels on the roller coaster clattered with the tracks. 

Later, exhausted, I drank some sugarcane juice which tasted awesome and helped me regain my pulse. As I noticed around me, everyone was chitchatting and rushing past me, like it happens in the railway station. I felt like I was listening to music as the people chatted along. 

Next, I saw a board which said, 'The Alien Tunnel'. When I went inside, I tried to touch a rock, but my hand went through it, I got frightened. My friendly and humorous guide explained that it was virtual reality. Throughout the trip acorss the tunnel, I felt like I was lost in an entirely different planet outside the solar system. Different rock forms through which hands pass, gosh! 

As I got out from the tunnel, I decided to have my lunch, so I went to the foodcourt. I ordered a bowl of vegetarian fried rice with gobi machurian, cooked ans served joyfully by the chef, who understood my tastes. Finally, I got back home, exhausted. I will never forget this day in the fair, though I participated very little. 

What Was So Interesting About Playing With Tangrams!

Tangram is a Chinese Geometrical puzzle consisting of a square cut into seven pieces which can be arranged to make various other shapes. I love playing with Tangrams. 

It is very interesting to play with Tangram puzzle because I enjoy making beautiful shapes.

A Graph - Tickets Sold For a Play

The temple community ISKCON Coimbatore, that I visit very often sometimes organizes dramas/play. All of these plays are free of cost for all kinds of people to watch. I once watched a play on "Sudama Charitra'. It was a wonderfully played drama. The temple community is constructing a new big temple nearby and they are raising funds for the construction of the new temple.

When I was studying 'Data Handling' in Mathematics, I imagined that we all are organizing a play on "Balarama kills Denukasura" to raise funds for the new temple construction. I even imagined that different group of people in our temple community sold tickets for this play. My amma gave me some imaginary data related  to this and here is a BAR GRAPH I created.

My Questions Related To Computers, Software And Internet

I have been reading the books "Learning Computers For Smarter Life - Book 1 to Book 5", authored by Manuj Bajaj and Anil Ahlawat. I have these questions in my mind for which I would like to get answers. The questions are

1. When was Windows Vista released first?
2. Sometimes the keyboards, mouse has a Microsoft logo. Does that mean that they are manufactured by Microsoft? I thought Microsoft only manufactures software applications, not hardware or other products. 
3. Do some websites that has videos in it cause Virus in my computer?
4.  How do some computer security software like Kaspersky protect the computer from virus?
5. What kind of websites attack our computer and cause virus?

Do comment your answers. Thank you.
