Party Time

Festival is on the wind. You can smell it, hear it, feel it as you walk down the street. Children are eating ice creams; little girls are wearing pretty dresses; whole families are clambering on board buses with huge bags, going to visit their relatives. Fruit sellers line the street offering fresh melon, coconut and cucumber (?!) on paper plates, and banana-leaf plates are selling like hot cakes as people prepare for party time. Helium balloon float through the air. Kites fill the sky. Festival is on the wind.
