Dear Diary
I happened to visit a craft mela at Faridabad two days back. You will not believe me when I say it was one of a kind experience. It was like witnessing the crafts of almost all the states of our country under our roof. The visual and verbal stimuli that they used to explain their crafts made the whole mela very lively. It was quite difficult to believe that one country had so many different types of crafts. Most of the stalls also had craftsmen who gave live demos of how various products were made. I was astounded at the skills of these people. At the same time, I felt sorry that most of the time their skills were going unnoticed. For example, while Gujarat state excelled in various mirror work products, the one from Kerala showcased many products made from the leaves of coconut trees.
All in all, it was truly a memorable experience. I don’t think I can ever forget it and am sure I will cherish this memory forever.
