Dearest diary,
I have been on cloud nine today
since I heard the result of my story telling competition. I never thought that
I will be the first winner of this competition.
I took many efforts for this competition but I was trembling while
telling the story on the stage. But when
they announced my name I was just tickled pink. First time I was over the moon.
Really fantastic situation I experienced today. It’s really outstanding moment
of my life. That is all for today.

Dear diary,
My toady’s day was full of
enjoyment. I feel like celebrating. You know what the enjoyment was. Today I
saw the first snow fall of the season. It was the first snowfall of the season
but for me also it was the first snowfall. I never experienced this snow fall.
I only heard about it and seen in movies and television. But today was my lucky
day to see this dazzling event. The snow had covered the tree, rooftops, and
vehicles. It has been snowing since morning. Looking through the window, the
snow appears extraordinary beautiful. It is biting cold, but my family and I
are enjoying it. We enjoyed soup and hot pakoras in the evening. It was really
excited and memorable event for me.
Thus I enjoyed my first snowfall of
the season.

Dear diary,
I have been dying to tell you what
happened today! This is the most exciting day of my life.
Can you guess what happened
today...today when I went to school, my class teacher entered in our class and
she randomly picked up few students among us? I was one of them. We were
puzzled why the teacher took us along with her. She gave us few dialogues and
asked to practice them. After few minutes, she told us to execute one by one.
Finally, when it was my turn, I felt much tensed. I took a deep breath and
started performing my dialogues, and you know what! Everyone was impressed by
my act and they gave me a big round of applause. Our teacher has selected me
for lead role for forth-coming annual day celebration. I’m so excited and I’ll
give my best in the act.
That is all for today. See you soon

Dearest diary,
Hi my best friend. I was eager to
tell you about today’s day. Today’s day was little bit chaotic and difficult
for me. Why?
I will tell you. Today was my first
day in the hostel life. This is the first time that I have left my home and
family first time. It is the first time that I am alone in new place and with
new people. When I entered to the hostel room I felt like crying. There were
already two members in the room and they have become friends of each other so
felt little awkward with them. But my parents made me comfortable by making my
friendship with them. I was just feeling like I am going to appear for an exam.
After settling in hostel my parents went off. That time was really crucial for
me. But my roommates were nice they cheered me up. Now I am feeling little bit
free. But don’t know how about tomorrow. It’s also a new challenge for me.
Let’s see tomorrow what happens? Ok by my friend diary. We will meet tomorrow.
Jim
