Today is Mother’s Day.

Our Block celebrated Mother’s Day by arranging a painting competition for children and adults. They drew and painted on cloth bags as tribute to their mothers.

There was a paanipuri competition too in which my sister participated. But she couldn’t have more than five.  Paanipuris are wheat or semolina puffs which are stuffed with spiced boiled potato and chickpeas. They are  had with sweet and tangy water

There was free Mehndi for the participants. But my sister was not interested. So we proceeded for our evening walk.

    The personalized cloth bags are a great idea, Geeta. Personal, touching, and practical.

    I love the video because I’m listening to the language you speak. The cloth drawing activity sounds amazing, too.

    Mother’s Day celebration sounds successful… but honestly, only 5 pani puris? 😄🌸
    The painting, mehndi, and evening walk all sound lovely, but the pani puri competition stole the spotlight for me. ✨

    Beautiful pictures! I would love to be in a paani poori competition! I don’t think my stomach would like if I had more than five 😀 but my tongue would say go ahead!
