Dear Diary,

I have always been excited to visit International Trade Fair. Four of my close friends accompanied me there. It was a different world over there. A fairy land to be precise. The pavillions of Germany, Canada, the U.S.A, China and Great Britain attracted a large crowd.
India was represented by almost all states and establishments like the Indian Railways, Indian Tourism, L.I.C., Tatas, what and what not. The ‘Food Courts’ served all tastes from Pizzas to ‘Chholey Bhatturey’. We bought pairs of shoes, mobiles and garments. The fair provided opportunities for a lot of fun and entertainment. Film show, folk dances and puppet shows drew huge crowds. Anyway, it was a very pleasant and rewarding experience.
