It was my first time which reminds me of Teej
Mela I used to visit in my childhood days. Teej, celebrated to welcome
monsoons, is widely celebrated in Nepal, northern and north-western
India. Teej is one of the most widely celebrated festivals of
Rajasthan and is full of cultural and religious pageanty with swings,
traditional songs and dance.
Women, dressed in colourful clothes,
perform traditional folk dance and sing beautiful Teej songs
on swings bedecked with flowers. Teej is celebrated with much
fanfare in Jaipur.

Today, in the afternoon, I went to the
Birla auditorium as the Guest of Honour to attend Jayshree Periwal's
International School's Shaimak Davar students' summer show.
Before boarding for Kolkata, I attended a Write Circle session
with
Lady Mohini Kent Noon. Apra Kuchal was in conversation with her
about her new book The Black Taj which is yet to publish in
India. Lady Noon will be in Kolkata for the Author's Afternoon
as well.
