...Its Traditional Day....!!!

I encountered many happy faces as I entered my classroom ( rather strange as the daily regular lectures were about to start ). On enquiring, I found out that our department had planned for a 'traditional day'.
Now, this was something. Many of us were complaining that we were bored of wearing the regular clothes to college and wanted to wear something really different and traditional. That is how 'Traditional Day' was planned. Everybody were in high spirits and were fervently discussing what attire would they don and the accessories to go with it. It was truly a riot of colours that day. Every girl looked supremely traditional ( who otherwise were usually seen in a pair of jeans or leggings. ) Students who belonged to different states dressed up in their state's traditional best and looked really beautiful.
Smiles on everybody’s faces, the festive fervour, the clicking away of cameras, pictures with different (God knows how many) postures and all cultural events like dances, skits and songs made that day extraordinarily eventful.
At the end of the day, tiredness was taking over but not enough to douse the bliss of seeing myself in saree and deepest emotions welling up in my heart that gone are those childhood days. In a couple of years from now, we would be becoming big girls with our own duties and responsibilities...
